The next day we went into the same area of course.
That day ended up being a bust.
We only had 6 sightings and it was like all of them had bottle rockets up their butts!
Exploding and running far to far away each and every time.
Two rather nice bucks though.
And we endured the first of several tire chain failures.
The deep snow and messy conditions were taking their toll.
Lost two chains, but recovered one of them
That evening we Jerry rigged the one we found so it was at least serviceable.
Decided to take a short day the next and hunt closer to home.
The truck simply could barely manage it's way with but 2 chains on and eventually we ended up burying her.
After getting out of that mess, we decided to call it even shorter and go in search of more chains...
Did not find any (even the major outlets were sold out!) so repaired another old set my Buddy had.
Saw ONE whitetail that day.
Still not overly worried...
