We'll be at Sampson Wednesday thru Monday site 233. We have a fish fry Saturday night, stop by. Hopefully we'll catch some fish! We have 4 sites and three boats, can't miss us.
So last year was one of my huntng partners 1st year bow hunting and she shot her first ever deer and it was a decent 8 point. BTW she shot her 2nd and 3rd deer on opening day of shotgun last year, a 6pt and a doe! I'll get to the other 1st in a minute. This year she only has a limited time to hunt and will not be hunting the shotgun season. She has been hunting 3 different stand location on the same farm she made her bow kill, all on her own with a little advise from her husband and myself. She has been seeing some nice bucks but is never in the right spot. So she decides to sit in the same stand she shot her buck last year for a few days in a row. Oct. 10th, the first morning sit starts with a few does but not in range, she leaves and comes back for an evening sit. I get my first text at 4, 4:30, and 5 that deer are already in the Alpha and bean fields in front of stand and a nice buck came out of the corn and then into woods. then nothing untill the phone rings at 6:50, BBD!! We wait it out till 8:30 and I met her at the stand while waiting for her husband to arrive. She goes over the story with me and can hardly remember the chain of events she is so excited, except that moments before she shot a bigger buck walked by stand but couldn't get a shot and moments later this one walk right under stand and she shot. We started to look for arrow and found it fairly quickly but found some stomach matter on the arrow and decided to back out and come back in the morning. unfortunately I had to work, so Amy and Brian and another friend went out to look. Well the deer only went about 100 yds where we found the arrow was laying there dead. A beautiful 10!! Now she is the first female in our group to shoot a buck with a bow being 6 months pregnant!! Man do we have some catching up to do.
All 4 of the browns we weight in on FLX's boat were right around 4lb. We did lose our first fish because of a netting issue, thanks Dan!! Lol. That was a real nice brown. Just couldn't find any good lakers.
Wife is workng, get babysitter, nephew 's last dirt kart race at 4, my last race at the drags on Sunday, bow season on Tuesday...hope i'm still married on Wednesday!!
Dan,you could of least said how gracefully I netted the fish which included a 2 step, tripping, and then ended with me falling on the deck with fish in hand!! Lol! Wish we had a Gopro for that!
It was a stiff nnw with a good 2-3's. We the trolled with them and then motored back and went with them again. Trolled into he waves for about 45 minutes before calling it a day. Bumpy ride back to Sampson!
