It was 90 when I hit “my” deer woods at 01:00 this afternoon, sunny with a few clouds.
It was fairly windy so that help keep the temp down in the woods.
The action literally started immediately as, at 01:05, a fox scampered across in front
of right-to-left into the under growth with no shot. At 01:35, another fox showed up
on my right, went behind a tree never to be seen again.
At 01:44, a fox appeared on a dead, fallen limb to my left & became #6. I was able to
squeeze a .17 between a bunch of small fallen branches & a small sapling. The 1st pic
shows where the fox was, at the end of the large dead branch on the top right of the pic.
The bushy is right under that branch.
At 02:23, I looked over my right shoulder & another fox was moving down a fallen tree.
It jumped down, picked up a nut & got within 5’ of me before realizing I was something
that shouldn’t be there. It studied me for a minute or 2, ran to small tree, & went up a
few feet, still watching me. It jumped down & went a few feet up a larger tree & peeked
at me from the back side of the tree before running into the underbrush to the south.
At 02:56, the final fox of the day ran down the same dead limb as the 1st. It went to the
end, stopped & became #7. It was about 15’ from the 1st bushy.
That is the 1st puffball I have seen this year.
The wind had picked up & the trees were making some noises I didn’t like so I headed in at
04:00 with the temp still at 90. My plan is to hunt the same woods I was in last Tuesday. I’ll
probably only hunt to 10:30 as I have an errand to run before getting home to watch OSU VS. Indiana.
GO BUCKS!!!!

Nice day in the woods, George. Do you use hearing protection with the .17 or isn’t it necessary?
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Re: Day 13 of the 2019 Ohio Squirrel Season
Thx. No ear protection as it's really not that loud. It's basically a necked down .22 mag. Besides,
even with squirrels, the adrenaline flows & I don't really hear the report.
