"2023 Hunting"
It's all about the Hunt, not the Kill!

Today was more of the same. Not sure why this area is not being productive this year. I decided to walk around a little since I have only been hunting 93 of 400 acres. I am glad I did, as I may have found a new place to hunt. I will try it later this week or this weekend.
I went high, and came back low....
Nov 22nd
Today was bittersweet. We only have three weeks of gun season here and I missed the first day Monday due to fighting wildfires. I did get to go early Tuesday morning after a good nights rain, but bailed by 10am due to continued rain. This morning was better and I did see a doe. Limbs were falling and getting worse as the winds got higher so I bailed at 1pm.

Well I saw the bear today. I made it to the stand late evening, and within 30 minutes (6:15pm), he stayed just out of sight. I'll keep after him. You can just see the barrel of the Marlin 1894CB 44-40.

Nothing much to report. In S.C., My dad bagged a little four point (see photo) at 180 yards with his Winchester Model 1886 45-70, and my nephew has bagged two large bucks with his modern 7.somethingornother. I have seen a few does in SC but hunting deer in NC with guns in my county is only for three weeks starting November 20th. I have, however, been trying to track down a pesky bear (see photo) and two remaining coyotes. I have one groundhog that is giving me a fit.
The outline of the size of the bear can be seen here. I am standing in the same exact place. This is not a big guy by any means, just the first one I have been tracking.
The Marlin 1894CB 44-40 (see below photo) is loaded with 240gr loads.

Well, still working on the distructive critters...managed to pick of an unexpected coyote at 51 yards too. Here are a few examples!!!
