Weasels Larry, Gregg and Greggs neighbor Joel Went up to camp Thursday night for a 3 day rut hunt. Things started out badly Thurs. night when Joel broke the string on his crossbow while taking a couple of practice shots. We were unable to come up with a repair shop that could fix it in time for the weekend hunt. Plan B was for Gregg or I to shoot one quick on Friday morning and hand our bow over to Joel for the rest of the weekend. Plan C was for Joel to split firewood and fill the woodshed for a couple of years. Unfortunately, we ended up with plan C.. I nicked one in the brisket Fri morning and Gregg hit a tree with a nice 8 point standing behind it, but that was as close as we came to success. We did not see a lot of deer and we appeared to be a few days early for active rut. I did see a coyote and a fisher from my stand Fri morning, but only the one deer. Guess we will have to clean up this weekend during rifle season.
