Went to the road spot today. Friends from Juneau were supposed to be here this week, but their flight was cancelled yesterday due to weather and the forecast is for a gale or storm force winds all week and I didn’t know if we’d be able to get out on the boat. We can hunt from the road, but this is prime time for road hunters and I don’t know that many spots to go and have only taken a deer or two on the road. They can hunt near Juneau this week instead, as there’s a more favorable forecast up there on the inside waters.
I didn’t see a single deer today. I called in the muskegs, on the edge of the muskegs, in the big woods, and up near the ridge line where I figured the deer might be bedded in the lee of the gusty winds and the rain. Didn’t get lost this time, nor lose my phone, and back to the truck without incident.
With the forecast either for storm force or gale winds the next few days, I’m gonna pull the meat I packaged to grind for burger, and get it ground and canned and listen to the radio.
