Gotta catch you guys up on what went down in the deer woods last week as I sit out this week due to the 2nd shotgun season picking up again.  Now, not to cheapen the difficulty of gun hunting, it just doesn't matter what's in your hand when nothing shows up.  If I'm only going to get one chance, I'd rather do it with a bow.  My way.  Welcome to my cyber campfire and another #SMCA edition of Tex Grebner Outdoors!

- NOV. 22nd:  First hunt after the shotgun season had concluded.  When the lead starts flying and the deers start dying, those that survive get smart and fast in a hurry.  Then I heard a crunch.  Anything can happen in the magic hour.

- NOV. 23rd:  It appeared that all the deer movement had gone nocturnal, which is pretty traditional for deer to do after they've been shot at by bang sticks.  But with hunting, you never really know, and if I get a deer I'll know I have earned it.

- NOV. 26th:  People wonder why I don't gun hunt.  Besides being illegal to bow hunt during the gun seasons in Illinois, the only other deer I killed with a shotgun was within bow range.  I'm a bowhunter, it's what I do.  It's the way I'm wired because I'm just kinky like that.  Even when it's a long day in the stand.

- NOV. 28th:  No movement, not a thing.  It was warm, the rut was over, and they had been shot at by guns.  But the hunt is a visceral mystery as I listen to the wind blow through my ears.
