Fitz's 2013 Season Journal Thread *semi-live*

let's forget the tree and get back to Blade creepin up on you!

 

It was me

 

ghosts...it is Halloween!!

 

The grouse are moving. And a noisy raven rooted nearby.

 

Good luck in WI brother!

 

Well, there's some light chasing going on. Had a buck chase and grunt to my N. Few min later something blew up there (upwind so I'm not sure what at).

Around the same time I had at least two deer to my W.

Wind picked up a bit and was blowing the dew off the tree tops. Made it hard to hear what exactly was going on.

Time to sneak out

 

I think I just figured out what it was blowing at. A wolf just started howling real close to the N.

 

Any day now Fitz!! Driving us nuts here just get it done! lol

 

You need to shoot one of those bucks before you and everyone else go crazy!

Here's the plan for tomorrow. I'm heading in to the same stand 0dark30. I'll sit there until mid morning, then I'll get down and hang a second stand that I'll bring some 50-60 yards to the W. There's always been action skirting me that way, so it's time to leapfrog. I'll sit there until dark.

Dad fhas the day off. He wasn't sure if he was going to go out right away or wait until 8ish. Sounds like he'll spend part of the day in his ladder up there. Then, maybe switch to the stand I'll be abandoning mid morning.

The game is afoot. The time to strike is now. Blood will be shed!

 

Blood or tears...Should be a great weekend! Keep in touch!

 

Coach! Good to see you on here

Is the little man up hunting this weekend, or just you old farts? If anything goes down, you'll get a text. Give those WI whitetails hell!

 

Well it sure doesn't look like shooting light. Gonna be foggy again.

Happy November!

 

Wolves are sure active up here this year. Couple low howls to the N again this AM. wonder if they'll work this way?

 

I'd really like a chip shot here this morning.

 

Got a txt from my dad. He was walking into his tripod stand, came across a basket 6 on the way in. He drew back and his peep was twisted.


So close.

 

Welcome back to Fitz's circus.

Dad decided to come to his ladder and have me look at his peep. Figured it's be a good time to get down and hang my other stand anyway.

So I meet up with him where our trials split, fix the peep. Then I head to hang the Lone Wolf further in from where I sat this am. Find the spot and get working on hanging the stand. Get to the bottom of the tree to grab my gear and see a txt from dad. Forgot his harness, so he went in for an early lunch.

I see the word harness, SOB, I forgot a tree strap for this stand! Text dad to grab me one while he's in.

Make my way back out to meet him, then back in. Just finished lunch in the tree and can finally start hunting again.

Shesh...

 

Anyways, here's the view



Let's see what happens. FTR, I'm sitting about 5 yards from where I found my arrow tracking Whistler last year.

 

what release are you using? Bran/model? How do you like it?

After living through you for weeks, I will get out a bunch these next two weekends! So pumped! Get Brown Down today Fitz!

 

It an old tru-fire 3 finger. "Stinger" I think it's called. Justin likes to give me crap about how old it is.
