“The white tails are still hanging on to their velvet a little bit,” Kevin noted, scanning the area for any signs of movement. They settled into their pop-up blind, perched on a ridge that dropped off steeply on both sides. “I can only see about 30 yards all the way around,” Michael observed, whispering as they tried to remain quiet. “It’s a beautiful spot here in Kentucky.” The dense foliage and the natural contours of the land provided excellent cover, making it an ideal ambush point for elusive whitetails.
