We are three days from a full moon with temperatures in the lower 60's. Today is cloudy with a mild NE wind. Deer movement appears to still be slow. I decided to hunt the south end of a ravine which is a bit closer to bedding areas (stand #5). I saw nothing. On my way in from the stand I found a guy (Allen) hunting a field next to our fence line with a muzzle loader. He was sitll out in the field after dark and had no blaze orange in his possession. I chased him off and said I would call the game warden next time. I also advised him to find a new place to hunt that had its own woods. There are some idiots out there that continue to give our sport a bad name.
My cousin Steve hunted a new farm for the first time (hanging a set mid-day). He shot at a big 135" 8 pt. but hit him too high on a very difficult shot. We searched for 4 hours the next morning for the buck covering the whole farm without success. There was almost no obvious blood. Sometimes that is hunting.
