    I ended up seeing three deer about 15 minutes before dark. They were about 70 yards away and never came closer before I ran out of light.

    The white River dropped pretty quickly and I was planning on heading back to Wattensaw WMA tomorrow to hunt the last week of the Arkansas season.

    I checked the forecast and the temps are supposed to be in the high 60’s and 70’s. Really? I would need to break out my early season gear and treat with permethrin.

    Also, a buddy of mine who lives there said that they are holding a major squirrel hunting championship there this weekend.

    That was enough for me to say forget it. My season is now officially over and I’m going bass fishing.

    I’ve had a pretty good season.

    You know there are other WMAs in the state, and, we have decent bass fishing when the hunting is slow.

    I am in for one last hurrah. About two hours before dark, same spot as last weekend, I move about
    60 yards to cover the trail into the food plot that the deer used just before dark. Unfortunately, the only tree small enough for the straps on my sticks has a ton of branches, too many to get around. I am only about 12 feet up, but with decent cover. Hopefully it is enough.

    Expecting deer to come from the thicket in the first picture, the edge is 40 yards away. But, they could come anywhere. Food plot is at my back. IMG_1192.JPG Image1708900284.503333.jpg

    Got skunked, not really surprised, full moon, windy and unseasonably warm, high was 78. But, it was the last chance before season closes at the end of the month.

    I missed a pile of squirrels with the .22 had a blast burning the day and we ended up with enough for a big meal.

    Been walking a good way on this island. So far it's been productive. Buck beds. Dead heads. Sheds. Jumped a group of shed bucks...tracks.

    I walked about 3 miles today. Ran into 2 cameras. Didn't see but a few boot tracks in likely spots. The island is over a mile long and pretty wide. Not too bad.
