should of had a doe this morning...pulled back too early

[CaptTank]

I am mad at myself. Was set up in the right spot this morning and blew a chip shot at a little 9 pt. Then I flung one at a doe and she ducked it. Oh well, couple more hours and I gotta call it and head north.

Also saw a decent size bobcat this morning. He was just meandering through a group of deer.

This is truly an awesome hunt. I’ve have hunted here several times over the years, but this is the first time I have brought a bicycle. So much better. Could get to my spots faster and get set up with time to spare. Just gotta figure out how to control the sweating. Lol.

Pulling back early is usually a good practice except in this case..

A good cold front or an eBike should do it. But I know exactly what you mean... I have the same problem.

Congratulations.



I took one last year about that size. It was all alone for most of the day. I kept hoping momma would come for it. The biologist said the momma was most likely already taken by another hunter. Was that your experience with this Nilgai you took?



Congratulations

No momma was there. She was about 80 yards away when I shot the calf. She had no idea her calf was gone. She eventually got closer. I shot her too but she did not fall. I could not find her. Shot her at 40 yards and I hit high. No blood trail whatsoever.

Are you encountering a lot of mesquitos and ticks? Just curious if I should bring out netting and whatnot

Yup on both counts.

My game cart broke so we made the best of it. Luckily it was a small one.

That would be one odd silhouette at sundown.

I think I'll bring three thermocells

Mosquitos were there, but tolerable. Ticks on the other hand are a problem. I found several on me, but only one attached. That was day one. I used permethrin religiously and just knocked a few off crawling on me and that was it the rest of the trip.

****. Not looking forward to that, but I’ll bring thermocell and permethrin spray.

[Huntindad]

I still have permethrin from last time. I will spray my clothes before hand like last time No issues then.

Are they not doing the board anymore?

Awesome. It looks like that nilgai didn't stick the landing on a sweet jump.

No board this year due to COVID
