Guys,
It's that time of year again when we all focus on horns and dropping acorns and scent and movement and quiet steps and the promise of another season. Once again thanks to so many of you who helped me out last year in my first season deer hunting at an above average age.
Two questions:
I was out this past Sunday looking at a new area and kicked up a woodcock. That surprised me as I would think it way too early for flight woodcock. Do some timber doodles stay in NC year round?
Second question unrelated to the first. Binoculars when hunting: more extra weight to carry in, more movement in which deer can spot you or essential equipment for spotting deer before they spot you? I go back and forth about their value as one who does NOT use tree stands.
What a gift to have another season from the Lord!
Be safe. Enjoy the blessing of being taken in by Their environment and removed from our, human, frequently less beautiful, less peaceful environment.
