These little jaunts put me in mind of the bush that I have available to me only a 10 minute drive south of my home ,,,,, without fail when I approach a bend in the river that borders one of the trails I kick up at least 20 ducks that raft in a small quiet pool. the problem is that if i go with Bosco there is no chance in hell of getting off a shot.... there is only one lane to shoot and its straight downriver and very narrow. He aoids water for the most part but he wades in at this area everytime we pass it.... just cant get enough of that scent that they leave behind.

We pushed a doe and fawn the other day while walking the bush and Bosco was beside himself was good full bodied doe too...but I still havent been in the tree stand, the weather has been unseasonably warm for this time of the year,,,,, yesterday we set another record high,,, was 91 F and as humid as hell... it should be in the mid 50's to the mid 60's .... cant wait for that weather,,,, enough of summer for me bring on the North wind!

Also have seen a great many racoon tracks.... will be sticking one or two of them to a tree in the very near future with my cross bow.

Happy Hunting All!
