Different place, different strategy today. Hunted in Town of Saukville
with Bill Worth and Charlie and Gail Thon and a TV crew of Jose Lozano
and Jeff Moorbeck. Light snow covered the ground as we made our way to
our stands this morning. We sat at four strategic locations in a small
woodlot until 8:00, then Bill walked out and made a big swing through
thick brush and pushed out two does that didn't follow the game plan.
Instead of staying in the ribbon of cover leading to the woods and our
waiting guns, they cut across the field within sight but just out of
range of Gail, who reported their escape to the rest of us. The rest of
Bill's one-man drive netted nothing, so we spent an hour taping scenes
of hunters doing what hunters mostly do - sitting and waiting. Then it
was lunch at Bublitz's in Saukville. Every time I pass Blau's Saukville
Meats during deer season, I am reminded that I haven't dropped off a
deer there yet.
The way things are going, I'll have to pick up a road kill like I did last year!
We're hunting the same plan again tomorrow, adding Jerry Kiesow, an avowed smokepoler, and perhaps one or two other hunters.
Later...
