Re: Hunting 2020

Got back from the cabin last night, going back up tomorrow afternoon. Seeing lots of deer. Lot of doe and I've passed on 3, 4 & 5 pt bucks. I've seen the same button buck every day for the last 3 weeks, I call him Buttons. He walked within 5 ft of my blind and looked in once. I was perfectly still. He didn't recognize what he was seeing. Haven't seen the big guys I saw throughout Sept and early Oct. So here are some trail camera pics just because.
Saw this guy several times in the last couple weeks. Just not close enough for a shot

Haven't seen the bears on camera in awhile. This was on the other side of the property from where I usually see them.

Early shot of the bobcat. I've seen him about once a week on camera...

And a coyote doing his business

This guy walked right past me this week. Not enough points to waste my buck license on. Notice the time, just about 1 in the afternoon.

I generally get out before sunup, hunt until 10-11am. I then go back out and clear trails, or shooting lanes. I'm in the process of clearing one ridge of small pines and another of Aspen saplings. I've cut at least a hundred of both so far, doesn't even look like I've done anything they are so thick. I then go back out late afternoon and hunt until it gets dark. Like I said, seeing lots of deer, just none big and/or close enough to shoot with a crossbow.
