not much to tell here,
openin I come down with a full blown cold with an over grown snuffaluffagus living in my nose.
opening morning I find there are a few extra hunters in the woods. invited and extras on privet farm. needless to say no one saw any deer. all the walking ins and outs kept every thing away, not to mention the steady rain that set in and stayed for two days.
I go back out on monday and come across an old farmall, I offered the farmer 500 and now I have another tractor... LOL, like I needed another tractor....[laugh]
so tuesday comes around I plan on picking up the tractor after a couple hours in the woods. I arived around noon time when I fitered every one would be out of the woods for lunch. The fresh now on the ground looked nice, it reminded me of what deer season used to look like.
its two hundered yards back to where the tractor is, I figured I would sit near it and wait for the guys to show up that were going to help me get it out of the woods.
I come in to a clearing and there is a horned critter. I made my aproach twards him, not close enough to pick out points but moving in and seeing no signs of the deer noticin me.
I get in range and start to take a draw and out of no where the deer gets spooked and jumbs in to the brush. then I notice there are two hunters right on my hoof not three feet behind me yackin away...[crazy]
figurin my hunt is shot now, I start working on the tractor trying to get it up and running, a couple hours of labor and drainging water out of the gas tank I get it running.
I drive it out of the woods and on to the road, not an uncomon site for that neck of the woods, every one is used to seeing farm tractors on the roads. Any way I get about 2 miles and the rear left tire falls off the tractor!!!
all four bolts holding the race in place broke off allowing the tire to spin off..
ya talk about a wild ride [shocked]
fortunatly there was a heavy peice of frame work under the tractor so the axle did not hit the pavement.
any way it was only a recker call away from getting it home.
long story short I did see a deer, but other hunter preasure was a bit of a problem on week one....
