Shotgun season recap, Thanksgiving, and late Muzzleloader.

Early archery came and went for me and quite a few others in an uneventful manner. It was time to pull out the smokepolls and firesticks for Saturdays shotgun opener. The first week slipped by for the Boehms without success. However good friend Brandon Jones with Outdoor Jones put the sneak on a great buck. Pictures of that later. It seemed that I had a bad case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. With plans of heading to North Dakota for thanksgiving and a little pheasant hunting I only had until this passing Monday night to hunt. And I almost pulled off a slam dunk I was sitting on the ground at a property I had neglected to hunt this year yet. It was 5 minutes before dark and I had a 150 inch 12 point sneak into 5 yards and bust me. Maybe if I had waited just a few more minutes to start putting stuff back in my pack I'd be going to ND with a fist full of pictures and my tag filled. But that's why they call it hunting, not to mention it was completely my fault. I'm going to be ready to hit it hard for late ML! Again I say never give up. Have a great Thanksgiving ladies and gentlemen. God Bless America and remember our freedom isn't free.
