There was not a whole lot to report from this past weekend's hunt other than the weather report. HOT, HOT, HOT. The deer did not move much during the day when we were in the woods. I arrived around 3:00 pm on Friday and Tommy Ellis and I hung my Gunslinger climbing tree stand in an area called Cherry Hill. The climber was positioned to overlook a road where the deer were feeding on acorns falling from several large oaks. I had a perfect set up to ambush a deer from 20-40 yards. It was still bow season on Friday. I  went back to camp, showered and got to my stand and was settled in a little after 5:00 pm. It was 85 degrees and very humid and I was ready with my Hoyt bow, Carbon Express arrows, and Rage broadheads. The deer however, were not impressed with my gear or choice of stand location and failed to cooperate. After dark, I climbed down and returned to camp to find Tommy and Billy Hamilton had not seen any deer either. We feasted on Alaskan halibut that Billy had caught this past summer, had a couple adult beverages and got ready to start the Georgia muzzle loader season on Saturday. It was 70 degrees and humid, I mean the air was thick when we got up on Saturday morning. The weather forecast had called for scattered thundershowers. It started to rain just after I climbed into a box tower stand in the same general area I hunted the previous evening around 6:30 am. It rained pretty solid until around 7:30 when it stopped. I thought the deer would really move after the rain stopped. At 7:50 I looked up and saw a doe and two fawns step out of the short pines and cut across the edge of a recently planted food plot. I got the muzzle loader up and ready but never got on the old doe before she lead the two fawns back into the woods. I got down around 9:30 am and saw a doe feeding on acorns in the road where I was sitting the previous afternoon hunt. I watched her for several minutes and noticed she still had her summer coat of fur. Like I said HOT, HOT, HOT!! I returned and ate breakfast and then went back to the same stand around 11:30 am and was determined to beat the heat. At 1:00 pm something moving caught my eye. There was huge wasp nest that was less than two feet from me in the corner of the stand and all of a sudden it was covered with moving wasp!! I grabbed my muzzle loader and backpack and vacated the stand as quickly and quietly as possible. I sat there for over 4.5 hours without even noticing it was there?? I moved to a ladder stand a couple hundred yards away and stayed another hour until the heat just got unbearable. I went back to camp and cooled off and watched some football until around 5:00 pm. Tommy Suggested I might want to sit in a ladder stand that is in a stand of thinned pines that is in between two thick bedding areas. I took his advice. The wind was perfect but it was still HOT and I did not see a deer during my hunt. I made a mental note that this would be a great place to hang a climber and get way up in the pines and see for a couple hundred yards. You can tell the deer cross in this area frequently. We dined on vinison burger steaks along with a French Syrah and a California Cab. Watched the Gators win(Billy is a Gator) and my Seminoles loose. Got up early Sunday and went back to the ladder stand at Cherry Hill. It was in a great area and the wind was just right but the deer did not show. I got down a little before 9:00 and sprayed the tower stand wasp nest, collected my climbing stand and prayed that the next time I return it will feel like fall and not summer.
