I just got back from Mechlashers and boy was it a fun weekend. I left Florida about 11 o'clock Thursday night and got there about daylite Friday morning. It was in the low eighties when I left with flip-flops on(naturealy), and frost on the ground when I got there.
I sat around most of the day sipping, scouting and setting a stand up waiting for Wade, (n2everything) to show up and Chris to get out of teaching school. Well, both were no shows. I got bored after chipping three points and went out and got in my stand early. I figured I go up about 35' and read a book and eat beef jerky to hunting time.
About six thirty I saw a deer walk out about 250 yards from what Chris and I figured out later. I dropped that one and about rolled the tree stand over doing it. I had to switch to an ackward position and the recoil rolled me sidways since I was on my knees in a climber. It turned out to be one of the bucks Chris wanted culled. Then went out Saturday afternoon and got another at about hundred twenty yards, another buck. Both of them 3 points.
I only brought that red cooler in the picture so when I got both of them cleaned, and packed in there and didn't see any reason to hunt Sunday or Monday like I had planned. I had a great, relaxing time with Chris, filled the cooler, we shot muzzle loaders for two days and got to shoot Chris' tricked out Springfield 45. He hit dead center in the ten ring, first shot, I didn't even want to pull out my Sig after that. Thanks Chris.
