Stonehenge

Stonehenge

For the past three years my first hunt of the season has taken place at Stonehenge.  It is a long paddle down the river from the pull off spot, but the place is worth the effort.  I go to the place because it is well off the beaten path, but some hunters access the place via four-wheelers, even though it is illegal to drive them on public land here.  I had two trail cameras stolen here as well, but I have gotten a little better at hiding them and I haven't lost any in four years.  Every year there seems to be at least one big buck running the river bottom plus a tassel of good two year old deer as well.  I plan to hunt here the first chance I get when October rolls around.


Last year I watched an immature bald eagle chase a great blue heron past me three times.  The heron croaked loudly as the eagle tried to clumsily knock him out of the sky and I think the eagle eventually gave up on trying to catch him.

Maybe this year a buck like one in the bottom two pictures will walk past me while I'm on stand.
