learn to hunt

A friend took me out to the woods near the Arkansas border last night. We sat in the woods, deer tracks all around. The sky was still bright with pink and blue, but the forest was dark.

The full moon was high in the sky and chorus of coyotes filled the cool air.

No deer. No coyotes. Would have had plenty of squirrels if I brought my .22.

This year was my first hunting season. I hunted deer, but saw nothing. I went on a guided duck hunt and bagged 3 grey ducks and 2 teal. What a great time!

Because I deer hunt from the ground with a lever action 30-30 with iron sights, I need to learn to better track the deer.
