Halloween Hunting With The HECS 2021:
Keep in mind while you watch this, that it is only 4.5 minutes of a 4.5 hour hunt in which time there were animals like this all around me the whole time.
I can't video them all, but I have peep holes around inside the blind, and can see what's around me pretty much all the time.
When you see an animal alert, it isn't me they are alerting at/on. They are reacting to other animals roaming around, or coming in. That old sow alerted twice because of the turkey coming in.
I know some will ask - why didn't you shoot that first buck? Answer - Because he was to small. Then why didn't you shoot the sow? Answer - I started to, but at that point my hunt would be over, and where there's one or two bucks cruising, there are others.
I drew, and let down on both bucks, the sow, and the turkey multiple times, and got away with it even when there were turkey no more than 5 ft from me.

No shots taken, but darned if it wasn't an exciting afternoon/evening anyway.
