NC4X4 Hunting and Fishing

Youth day hunt this evening. If I can get him to just sit down, might get him on one.

Edit: seen one. Had munchkin lined up on her and asked if he was ready, he yelled "ME GON SHOOT IT!", and said deer ran to the next county lol.

They like the Big Tine, they can smell it from far away. I put 8 cups in a bowl and a few cut up apples and toss both around the backyard and they come to it.

I would have sat in my ground blind, but I had grownup things to do. That ground blind is pretty cozy in bad weather.


Side note. My trophy line saddle came in the mail today. My platform comes Monday, and I already have sticks. Excited to give it a try this season.
 
Hunted Thurmond Chatham today. My buddy saw 2 bucks, I saw a bear. Wind never stopped.

Sat out back this morning. Saw a bunch of turkeys and two does. I really want that guy on the left to come out.
 
First saddle hunt yesterday evening. I dig the mobility, but I for sure need to find the comfort sweet spot. Wasn’t bad, just slightly annoying. Taking a shot feels way different from a normal lock on or climber. Different muscles when you’re hanging. At least for me it is. I was surprised how high you can get with four sticks.

I went to TC in the 90s hunting turkeys with a friend. We got there in the camped on the road the day before the season .Early in the morning we went up mountain and he went east and I went west. Plenty of gobbles but the wind got up and it was hard to tell where they were gobbling. I hunted to noon and came down and ate and went to the west boundary. It was cut about 15' wide and it turned to steep rock w thick Laurel on the left and a cliff on the right. I heard some gobbles up the mountain and I was climbing when I heard rocks falling, I looked up and saw a huge deer running up the rock/cut line and it's ass was more than 24". That deer was more than 200#. It went up and over the rock .I got to the top just to see the deer was gone and the cut was now a cliff and way to steep for me or a deer to go down it. I tried to go into the laurel but it was thick and wondered how the deer got away. I had to find to a hole to get in to the woods it was too thick. Then I went back to the cut and I saw a bunch of Turkeys in a field about 600' below me. I thought I might hunt these
birds in the field but it was posted.
