    Today I went out again. This time another huntress joined me. We have discussed hunting a lot but never hunted together. We had a really nice chat (very quietly of course) while hoping to see something come in. We went to the zoo one of my favorite stands and discussed all things hunting. Apparently things… Read more

    Picked a ladder for tonight. I’ve only sat here once before, but the weather was so nice I wanted to enjoy it. We got out about 3 hours before dark. For the weather there was not a lot of pedestrian traffic. For the most part it was a very quiet night. I had a pair… Read more

    Traditionally in Germany the Buck season starts on May first. It’s a big deal for the German hunters. This year we were not able to get out on opening day. Even though we are allowed to start our buck season in April we always try to go out for May 1st. This year the odds… Read more
