Ordered a case of shells.
Got a speck call just to play with. Might head to a part of the state where they actually see a few. Right now I'd scare them and everything away. Having fun. Sound terrible. Actually terrible would be an improvement, but starting to make some speck like sounds.
Thinking about adding some duck silhouettes. Our season runs about a week later than normal because of when the saturdays fall. If we get an early freeze and snow, should have some good late season field hunting for mallards.
Thinking about adding snow goose socks. One problem in the late season is when there is no snow on the ground, it's hard to decoy the Canadas. The decoys just don't stand out like they do when there is snow on the ground. The dark against dark. I'm thinking maybe a bunch of white motion will catch there eye a long ways off. I've seen plenty of Canadas decoy to an all snow spread. Going to give it a try. Plus I have them if I travel or to PA where I might cross paths with a few white geese.
The main thing I do this time of year is start putting out the trail cams and getting the archery area ready by clearing shooting lanes and making sure trees and stuff didn't block any of the trails I'd like the deer to use. The trail cams are really just for fun, but it starts getting me excited about the fall.
I have seen all kinds of things while hunting, but what is funny to me. I have never seen hide nor hair of a coyote when I've had a gun or bow in my hand. They are all over the place. I get lots of pictures of them right where I hunt.
Last year I tried growing corn for the deer. It was going well and then one of these fat bastards moved in an cleared every ear from my little plot.
The kind of deer I normally get with my bow
