BUZZARDS ATTACK BLIND | BWB 20.8
The morning air was thick with anticipation as Michael and the crew settled into their Redneck ghillie blind, ready for a day of **deer hunting** in Georgia. “I don’t know what we’ve gotten ourselves into with all these folks around here,” Michael mused, mixing up some dipping sauce for their deer snacks. “But we’re going to make the best of it, employing our **best hunting techniques** to ensure a successful outing!”
As they prepared for the hunt, the atmosphere was light-hearted, filled with laughter and camaraderie. “Hey, you’re on TV!” Michael called out to Phillip, who had just arrived after a late start. “Glad you could finally join us!” With the crew assembled, they were ready to hit the field, even if the weather was unseasonably warm for late October. The early morning light cast long shadows as they discussed their strategy, hoping to outsmart the elusive whitetails.
“It’s hot and muggy,” Michael noted, glancing at the thermometer. “But it’s deer season, and we’re not backing down!” The fog rolled in thick, making visibility a challenge as they settled into the blind on a power line. This particular **duck hunting blind** was versatile enough for deer, offering concealment despite the poor conditions. “Normally, you can see forever from up here,” he said, squinting into the mist. “But today? I can barely see the other side, which makes spotting movement even tougher.”

As they waited for deer to appear, Michael’s patience was tested by an unexpected nuisance. “Freaking buzzards have been lighting on my shooting house!” he exclaimed, frustrated by the scavengers that had taken a liking to their blind. “I ain’t gonna tolerate that!” With a few well-placed shooing motions and some loud shouts, he managed to scare them off—at least temporarily. The constant flapping and squawking were hardly ideal for a quiet hunt.
The morning dragged on, and deer movement was slow. “It’s probably too warm for them to be moving,” Michael observed, checking his watch. “But we did see a couple of does right at daylight, which is a good sign.” The fog hung heavy in the air, and the crew took turns scanning the landscape for any signs of life. “At least we’ve got some turkeys roosted behind us,” Michael added, trying to keep spirits high and maintain a positive outlook.

Just when it seemed like the hunt would be a bust, excitement surged through the blind. “There’s a buck!” Phillip shouted, pointing to a deer that had just stepped into view from the dense underbrush. “He looks decent!” Michael grabbed his binoculars and focused on the animal, heart pounding with adrenaline. “That’s one of our shooters!” he said, his voice hushed, as he prepared for a shot, carefully considering the wind and distance.
But as quickly as the excitement had built, it faded. The buck moved out of range, disappearing into the mist, leaving Michael feeling frustrated yet hopeful. “I just didn’t feel comfortable with the shot,” he admitted, lowering his rifle. “It was a rush, and I didn’t want to take a risky shot that might only wound the animal.” This is a crucial aspect of responsible **deer hunting tips** – knowing when not to take a shot.

As they settled back into their seats, Michael reflected on the unpredictability of hunting. “You never know what you’re going to run into out here,” he said with a chuckle, shaking his head. “One minute you’re admiring turkeys, and the next you’re staring down a shooter buck, only for it to vanish.” Every hunt offers new lessons and unexpected moments.
The fog began to lift slightly, and with it came renewed hope. “We’ve got some rain coming in,” Michael noted, feeling a few drops. “That should help our food plots and get the deer moving, making for better conditions.” The crew shared stories and laughter as they waited for another opportunity to present itself, enjoying the camaraderie that is a vital part of the hunting experience.
