Saturday:
The gang (or whats left) assembles on the opener to once again lose weight, get in shape and chase mules across the lands! A push of Piney Knob from the Camp Creek Trail is performed, with little sign observed. Leaves are all down, so no complaining about views, underbrush, yada yada yada! A continued push to the first cable results in…..nothing!
Sunday: Over to the “western” starting grounds, the drivers are dispatched and a run of that portion of the woods confirms that no living creature wants to reveal itself….lots of scrapes noticed by Leaddog at the 360 watch, but the makers of such are not playing with the crew, yet!
WEEK TWO!
Friday:
Leaddog arrives to solo the woods and perform a recon of last week to verify conditions. Verification results in what was seen last week in the Piney Knob area. A scoot to the Duck Hole showed some sign but not much. They ARE here but still may be in summer mode? Another trek to the first cable has the same results.
Saturday: Now with the limited gang, a drive of No Name is performed. The watchers are sent down Billy’s Watch to prescribed watches, and the drive commences. Rubs and scrapes are now numerous everywhere, at least something is alive but where is it?! The drive is completed with no results, so now a return is in order on the “other” side. All converges to the Knolls and exits the woods muleless.
Sunday:
The Bunny Hill is hit, the usual Sunday hunt. Scrapes and rubs are seen, and hopes are high! Two does are pushed right under the nose of Lindy, on watch in the notch. Nothing follows as hoped. The second hill is attacked back to camp with nothing seen…again except for an interloper that came out of nowhere dressed in green. Hopefully Week Three will be better…….
