Nova Scotia deer season, And The Apple Dumpling Gang are out in force
Day #1
First day of the deer season and I'm running around like a dog with 2 dicks. Not being ready or what, tearing down my gransdson's toys to find enough batteries for the gps, looking through boxes of clothes and other kit, Finally get on the road , sun shining , and then the ADG , their every .5 mile , and deer sign is telling me they were there for weeks dumpling . So here I go up over ridges, down into gullies, trying to find deer that have not been gathered up to these areas . Out of shape and a bit of the flu , sucking wind, and farting like and old draft horse hauling logs out of the woods.
I finally found a spot that you could shoot more than 50 meters and rested up. All in all a good start , found where improvements were needed.
Day #2
New area, perfect day , excellent setup, good sign , no joy. Took to walking, not a half mile from my setup, met up with more of the Gang , they were just heading in 12:00 50 lbs of apples over the shoulder , and parked 50 meters from their setup.
I was walking up , and got a chance to chat. Hey you guys part of the Apple dumpling Gang? They just laughed. Anyway did much scouting, looking pretty good for Nov. Figured you folks might get a kick out of the hunting methods of what seems to be 99 % of hunters out here.
Oh, where I setup this morning, there were bear, coyote, and deer tracks , might have to go get me a blackie tag.
There was a sad part of todays story, I did get on the road mush earlier today (on stand 1/2 hour prior to legal light) I was stopped by the cops, and routed around , their was a house on fire , and on the way home after lunch news crews were on scene, and the house was toast, I sure hope no one died
