So far, I have had five sightings of eight eligible whitetail. I have seen several nice does and two bucks. The other day, a four point was within shooting distance, but he got spooked from some movement. He made a graceful dance into the woods. This morning I had the best opportunity yet. The same four point, young about three to four years old came out to feed just after dawn, about 10 minutes from me getting settled! I was sitting among some brush, in full camo, scent covered, slight air movement at my back. Not ideal, but for the most part invisible. He came from the left from behind heavy brush into an open area. Unfortunately, I was in almost full view of the deer. He slowly moved towards my right exposing his side and within 20 yards. My heart was beating, my breathing almost out of control. I was doing everything possible to control my trembling. He became suspicious and probably smelled me. He spooked slowly and went back to my left out of view. I was not in a position to shoot nor could I even move a muscle to draw. I just sat for a few more minutes. I turned my body clockwise to improve my angle, I positioned my bow. He returned in about 3 minutes. Same thing, expect he didn’t spook. After turning back left, and still suspicious, he walked slowly towards the brush out of view. My best angle and distance was just before he entered the brush. I decided to take this as my best shot. Mind you… I am hunting with a 55# Grizzly Bear re-curve with no sights. I can hit a paper plate easily at 20 yards with consistency. I can’t hold it drawn. I moved very slowly to draw, but his peripheral vision caught me and before I could draw, he was spooked. I waited. I could see him playing beyond me behind some trees for about 10 more minutes. I called. He moseyed into the woods. I heard some snorting.  That was it. How can I shoot? Without a blind, there is just no way. This pict is a buck about the same size, but the one I saw had a smaller rack.
Not like a bad habit, but rather the thing that squeezes stuff. I feel like I am in one. I am being tested right now. These feelings are a curse sometimes.
I have been asked this… I don´t know when, so here is the answer. It means “vacuum”, or “empty space” or “nothingness”. So, it reflects the quantity of blogs I write which is almost none. Or it could refer to the worth of the information that I put in the blogs… either way, its the same.
This is my new teacher website. I am convinced there is nothing uglier on the web than a teacher web-site (with the exception of the immoral filth…) So, I am trying to make it attractive and I need practice. Comments welcome. Relavant links are needed.
Some of these entries will be in Spanish, others in English… I want the content of this blog to be varied although I am still undecided as to what it will have to do with… so here is a sample of what you might read… Click Las LÃneas y Los Espacios for a “Scholarly paper” I wrote..
No quiero que nadie esté confundido sobre el nombre de mi blog… Aquàestá el espacio en el que no hay nada tan importante que haya que leerlo, pero un espacio vacÃo es… entonces… lo llamo <<elVacÃo>> y no <<elVacilón>>… Porque no es una broma que escribo, sino que escribo dentro sin importancia…
Esta es mi primera entrada en este blog. Disfruta…Â
