Hunting season progresses

Looking out from my ridge top seat in Bloomfield

Today is the 7th day of gun season and we have had a lot of fun.  Yesterday Jake and I were out to Bloomfield with Brud and a friend of his.  In the morning Jake saw 3 bucks and I saw load of does.  Later in our walk along the ridges I saw a nice 8 pt run towards Jake.  The buck actually went 10 yards behind  him while Jake was watching a group of a does when he turned the buck took off....a few seconds later he saw the buck again, only this time an even larger buck was with him.

Another highlight of our week was taking Jake and Charlie to Swan Market, truly a male paradise....essentially it is a German butcher shop with more types of knockwurst, bratwurst, etc than one could ever imagine.

In the afternoon Hannah, Jake and I went out for an afternoon hunt.  There was an incredible amount of water on the  property we were hunting on.
