Today was the last day of our muzzle loading season. Day break found me in my blind. Temp was -8 and light snow was falling when I left the house but that stopped by the time we reach my blind. Wind was out of the s/west which was not too good for me. Skys cleared. I only have a mulie doe tag left and since I have enough meat in the freezer, I'm not interested in shooting anything big. I therefore decided I'll only take a mulie fawn. I want the ribs for a recipe and I want smaller backstraps. They'll make dandy shishkabobs(sp). Anyway first thing I saw was 2 whitetail bucks. A little fork, followed by a 3 X 3. They got to within 70 yds of me and I think that's when they winded me and turn and high tailed it back the way they came, waving bye bye with their tails ;D. 10 minutes later 2 does and 2 fawns walked by me about 40 yds south of my blind. These whitetails had no idea I was there and just went about their business and were in no hurry. Later saw another white tail doe with a fawn but they didn't come any closer that 120 yds. That's all for deer and no mulies seen. My hunting partner saw a couple when he got to the area he was going to hunt but he's now after a big buck. No more hunting for me until Nov 6 when rifle season for mulies opens and it runs to Dec 9, so have plenty of time.
