Well, it was just me and the V this trip to the November powder hunt. Ended up leaving from the house Wednesday about 45 minutes before daylight to be able to take advantage of the high tides to put the boat in at the ramp in order to make it to the cut to be there about daylight to be able to distinguish where the channels were for the 15 mile trip.
I was actually the first person to the hunt but by the time I got the boat secured for stream anchor a charter boat dropped two other people off, when I actually checked in I was #3 for the hunt.
Temperatures ranged from 35 to 70 degrees for the three day hunt, light rain on Thursday brought the animals out to venture all over the place, NOAA promised heavy thunderstorms that day but it didn't happen. Winds was back and forth most of the trip from South to NW to NE up to 35kts.
Any Sandgnats and Mosquitoes were almost nonexistent, all the circumstances made for an almost perfect trip.
I forgot to check the attendance quantity and the kill sheets. Best guess was 25 hunters and about 18 deer harvested. Most appeared in the 80lb to 125lb range.
I ended up with a 6pt and 8pt, about 120lb and 110lb.
As usual, sorry no good pictures, didn't have time but to hunt/eat and sleep.
Here's a few.
