But no gravy this time around.... Went up to the store this morning to check where the fellas where running dogs this morning in the club and found out and Dad was working this morning so me and my bro rode back to the still hunting club in New Hope and got there to late obviously.... That place was wrapped up no dought, there was about 6trucks parked at the camp and a hunter in every stand within walking distance.... We decided to wait until somebody came out and wont long we heard a rifleshot in the distance.... Then as hunters filtered back into camp my buddy Tyler's dad had shot a buck but was tracking it.... They tracked it for atleast 4hours I thought probobly more with good blood but still couldnt find the deer, they kinda think it crossed into another hunting club but there was no blood in the road so they turned back.... I believe it was about a 4 or 6pointbuck but dont know cus they never found it after spending half a day looking before he had to go to work.... Tyler looked for a long time after his dad had already gone but it was for nothing.... Dont know if the deer got out of the block or what but they lost him and plan to go back tommorow to look.... Well me and my bro sat in a stand for a while and my bro saw a 4pointer from the same stand I shot my buck off of last week but passed on the shot due to the heat.... Well wont long we headed in because it was about 11:30am and stood around at the camp with the rest of this mornings hunters and shot the bull for a while and eventually after everybody left we locked the camp up including the gate and went to get some lunch.... After that we rode back to the dog club to help the boys catch up dogs and shoot the bull with them and eventually came on home to eat dinner.... Over all a good day of hunting except for loosing the buck dispite the heat.... We intend to run dogs in New Hope, NC next weekend because the farmer wants the deer thinned out and he dont care if it has horns or not so its gunna be an all out war over there.... That place is loaded with big bucks to so we are gunna send boys back in the swamp with shotguns to make sure he dont cross into the still hunting club but should be some good hunting and running both and prolly gunna be alot of shooting going on.... You fellas takemeasy and have a good hunting season....-tim
