Teep, I had boots back at the truck but didn't expect this to turn into a real down in the dirt...and rocks stalk. I never thought I could pull it off because they have so many thousands of acres to wander. This 10,000 acres I was hunting is surrounded by ten's of thousands of acres in every direction & they can go there at their leisure.
It was just one of those times that you get a bit closer & a bit close & finally you think, maybe I've got a real chance at this. In the back of my mind I really thought it would be a few more weeks before they cut the hay & turned the water off before I would have a real chance at making it happen.
