Title: Some exciting pre-season action......
Post by: Reloader on January 04, 2012, 09:46:14 PM
Went out to try and whack a late season doe, but instead got to sit in on quite a show the entire evening.  When I climbed in my stand there was a couple birds in my lane and before long I had a flock of 38 on the scene.

I wasn't able to get pics worth a darn with the cell, but I did have them a mere 10' from my stand at one point.  There were two stud swingers in the group, several jakes, and a pile of hens.  The hens fought all eve long, at one point I thought I'd gotten ring side seats at the UTFC.

Despite the constant noise of all the birds throughout the eve, I did manage to see a couple yearlings after the turks roosted.

Those are my favorite deer hunts. Cool pics. Did you take that last one through your scope?

That was an attempt through one side of the bino Drenalind.  The cam on my Droid is hit or miss and I prob didn't have the bino focused for the shot.  The two big boys got real close, but never would stop for a decent pic. They are all blurry because they were moving around.  I took a couple while they were strutting.

TauntoHawk,

No kidding, that's why I like to watch em before the season to find out where they like to be.  Live decoys never hurt :D
