The Birds were Active flitting about and rustling around on the ground trying to make me think a Deer was approaching softly through the grass. Before too Long i heard a Specht Woodpecker known As the Carpenter of the Forest hammering away on a nearby tree. Then the excitement started. I suddenly heard All kinds of snorting and rumbling in a Thicket about 30 meters in front of me. There were squeals that Rey minded me of a Bam lot on a pig farm.

He was about the size of a Dove so no not this time. Too soon i thought. Id rather spend several Days out Here before shooting. It la be More fun that Way. I went Back to watching through the Spe Tiv. It was like looking into the face of that Buck from about 1 meter. I could see the detail of his Antlers. The Rich color of his summer fur. What a treat i watched him eat one Oak Leaf after another. He kept me company until about Sundown. When it was time to go i tried to gently move him out of the Way with some slight hand movements so As not to suddenly spook him. It seemed to work. He went Over to a tree line and Lay Down. I was then Able to climb Down from the Hochwitz and leave quietly without disturbing him. Although i did no to bring Home any game it had been a Nice experience and i had fun telling my family All about it.
