As always, Nate, I totally enjoyed reading about your adventures in the woods. Enjoy the next phase of your hunting times with your wonderful family. Stay safe, love to all <3
Nate, I agree, except for the following: Chukar Partridge are the ULTIMATE upland bird. Come Wests some time, and give them a try. Here (Alabama), it's still green in October ...the colors don't come till November. Last year I was chasing a buck like the one you picture ... 4 on one side, missing the the other. He was showing up on my game cams. Finally, one morning, he made the mistake, and entered my kill zone. Without hesitation, I shot him. As I walked up on the downed buck, it didn't look like 'him'. I was thrilled, but curious. Going back through my game cam pics, indeed, he wasn't him. There were actually TWO one-antlered four points on my property last year. I tried, but didn't get the second one.
Subscribing, and looking forward to reading more of your stuff.
Great read! ... as I sip my coffee, now cold, stalling to start the day's 'responsibilities'. The coffee was warm hours ago, on the way to the deer blind, but there were no deer this morning, so here I am. I resonate. The total breakdown of normal life, during hunting season(s). A completely different routine ... most of it hunting. And here the (deer) season is four months long, counting archery. I'm working on an article ... Deer Hunting and Mental Health ... as it (my mental health) seems to get wobbly for about this third of the year.
Another awesome read my boy!! Love ya!!
Dad
