Well today is Sunday, and I'm at work. My job tends to be a little boring, especially on Sundays so I have plenty of time to think. And of course this time of year, how could I be thinking about anything other than hunting? So I figured I would share some of these thoughts.
First, as a friend of mine pointed out to me yesterday, I left out a fairly important detail about the pre rut in my last entry. As I stated, during the pre rut, it is the easiest time to see where the mature bucks are because they are leaving scrapes and rubs. I failed to add that even though they are easiest to locate or "pattern" during this time, you will rarely actually see one because they are primarily nocturnal during the pre rut. You'll have to wait until the rut sets in before the mature bucks will start spending any significant ammount of time out and about in the daylight.
Next, and most important thought of the day. It is dumb that in Virginia we can't hunt on Sunday. What is the point of that law exactly? I've heard that it is so other people can have one day a week to safely go out in the woods for hiking, horseback riding, etc. In a way I would like to say that's dumb, but when I really think about it, it's really the fault of hunters who shoot at anything that moves. We've all heard stories about people or farm animals getting shot by irresponsible hunters. There's no excuse for shooting at anything that you're not positive about. If these irresponsible hunters would be more careful, maybe we'd get to hunt on Sundays and maybe less people would be injured or killed by hunters.
That's all I really have for now. I'm considering giving an overview of various hunting equipment/gear for my next blog entry. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading.
