Nebraska Success

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

The nasty weather could not keep us from scoring at Fur and Feather Outdoors. On the last day we finally had the opurtunity to take a nice buck. Jason had been seeing this deer up in the canyons and our setup in the Summit blind kept us warm enough to stay out in the elements long enough to get a shot. Man does it feel good when all that hard work pays off!

Winter Wonderland!

Wouldn’t you know that as soon as we would land in Nebraska an arctic blast would roll right in!
After one day of hunting the temps dropped and so did the snow. We have seen a ton of deer (both whitetail and mulies) but no shooters yet. This afternoon should be the day because the snow should let up and give everything a chance to head to the food sources.

Skunked!

Well things did not go as well as we had hoped for here in Illinois. I still have my bow tag and Tony still has his gun tag as we head back home to Tennessee. I sat in the miserable rain for 3 days hoping to get the chance to pull back my Matthews. We saw a few young bucks still chasing does but most of the big boys had their favorite doe pinned down. This past Friday (Nov. 20) was opening day for gun and I had to get back behind the camera to film Tony . The first day was great! Every deer in the county were on their feet from all the hunters in the timber but none made the fatal mistake of coming in front of our setup. It came to a sudden halt as it warmed up and people left the timber.

I guess its back home to spend time with the family before we pack up and head west to Nebraska to hunt with Jason & Britney Edney of Fur & Feathers Outdoors. Hopefully our luck will change.
