yesterday was opening day for me on Ft campbell. I seen some deer on my morning hunt but never had a clean shot.
But the evening hunt was my favorite, I got up my tree about 1500hrs and it was hot i think 90* but i was in the shade and was not wearing anything under my leafy suit
About 1540hrs i noticed some racoons in the dried creek bed about 40 yards to my 2 o'clock. It was a mama and two Young ones not really baby's anymore. The Young coons were playing with each other and the mama was flipping over rocks. They stuck around for about 30mins.
About 1630 i heard something to my 4 o'clock, i looked over and saw what i thought was another racoon. i said to myself "eww that one looks sick" After looking at it with my binos i learned it was a bobcat slowly making its way up the dry creek. I forgot my glasses
About 1815 I had some turkeys move through to my 9 o'clock all a sudden there was a hen standing 40 yards looking at me, I was already on my feet and rdy and there we stood in a stare down for at least 10 mins. I got tired of standing there so i slowly lifted my bow and let a arrow fly... Wack was the sound of the arrow smacking the body of the hen... but nothing hapend, there was no flopping turkey curious i grabbed my binos and gave it a look, it was a log and a white leaf for a head. ( I forgot my glasses)
I really enjoyed myself and connected with nature that hunt never saw a deer but what a way to start the season.
