RMS Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 We finally had a cold morning here in MN, it got down to 24 degrees. Before first light I heard a buck chasing a doe in the swamp and knew I was in for a good morning. At 7:15 a parade of does and fawns worked their way back from the fields through the swamp. Two minutes later a great 140 class 8 pt. came into the swamp on the same trail the does had used. He worked away from me into some thick brush. I decided to rattle to see if he might come in but he didn't. Ten minutes later I noticed movement to my left and here comes another 8 pt. He was a little bit smaller and not as wide as the first one I saw. He worked his way towards me and at 35 yards I thought this was a done deal. The thermals this morning were a little bit unpredictable and I could tell he winded me a little, but not enough to spook him. He stood behind some brush for a few minutes and decided something wasn't right and turned and walked away. Things are starting to roll around here but they are calling for 60 degrees the next couple days which I'm quite sick of. Next week should be awesome with highs in the 30's. Just wanted to share the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Re: Excellent morning Cool. Our temps are too warm here as well. Predictions are in the mid to high 60's for the weekend. Muggs is trying his luck at a spot of mine tonight and tomorrow. Temps tomorrow morning should be in the 30's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
