Hunting Log 22.12.2007

I drove to Swainsboro GA from Savannah last night. It’s less than 2 hours from Savannah. I got to the Ohoopee River Plantation around 5:30 and met up with my guide Wade Thompson.  I found Wade a little ways inside the gate.He was sitting in a big Caterpiller machine with lights shining on his truck.  Turns out he parked next to the woods and got out of his truck to wait for me. About 30 seconds after he got out of his 2007 Limited Edition Ford truck, a giant dead pine fell right across the hood and roof. Smashed the roof all the way down to the headrest of the driver’s seat.  After the deputy got there, Wade took me to my stand. Wade even went hunting himself after the deputy left. I got to the blind about 6 am and it started to get light around 7.  Around 7:05 I stuck my head out the window of the blind looking to the left and saw a doe looking at me.  A few minutes later I looked to my right and saw a couple of deer shaped blobs at the end of the field. Thought one might be a buck, but they both turned out to be does. I took some pretty good video footage of them Here .I didn’t see anything else that morning and got off the stand around 10:30.  We did a lot of walking in the afternoon and saw some great deer sign and beautiful woods.  I’d move here in a skinny minute.  Incidently, my southern comes back quick in the woods.
