    	..... Not so fast, Bruce.  I want to arrow another buck in October
    first (Maybe two if the laws change according to the Dept's
    recommendations).  I want to also go out and catch some sweet brook 
    trout this spring...  
    
    		Ho, Hum, Dead time in between Ice-fishing and trout fishing
    (and shooting a few chucks on occasion) -
    
    		Of course there's always some spring scouting, right Bruce?

629.4Of mice and men (and moose).HYEND::POPIENIUCKMon Apr 02 1990 13:229
    Last night I watched 5 whitetails feeding just before dusk in a field
    in Stow, Mass.  Last weekend my wife and I went for a hike in Andover,
    Maine with the specific intent of looking for moose antlers.  I found
    one, a real big one with about a three foot span, big wide palm and
    several ling tines, not chewed by the mice yet.  Two weeks earlier with
    a troop of boy scouts we found two moose antlers (not matched) in the
    same general area.  (That's what prompted me to go back on my own last
    weekend.)  Boy I love seeing things like this!
    
629.5No Time to be idleSHRBIZ::NELSONTryin to keep the customer satisfiedMon Apr 02 1990 23:3711
    
    Well, I'm just winding down from the last pheasant hunt 
    of the season. This past Friday, we snuck in before the 
    close of the shooting preserve season here in Mass., and
    managed to work three shorthairs on a bunch of pheasant. 
    At the end of the day, we had ten birds in the bag, and 
    had opportunities at 14. The dogs had a fine day ;-)
    
    	There is no time to be idle with the number of AKC
    Hunting Tests being sponsored by different New England
    area dog clubs this Spring & Fall.
629.6They are just too fastSALEM::MACGREGORFri Apr 06 1990 13:255
    I have been out trying to shoot deer with my tyrusty camera. I have
    seen 10 deer on different occasions with 4 at one time. One was
    between me and my truck, which was ony 60 feet away. But they are
    just too damn fast for me and my camera. But I will kepp on trying.

629.7what's too fast?CSCOA3::HUFFSTETLERReckless AbandonerWed Apr 11 1990 20:3217
re -.1

Bret,

When you say "too fast" do you mean that your pictures are 
blurred or you're not getting a shot at all because the deer spook?
I've found that even on sunny days 400ASA speed film works well 
because you're in the woods instead of out in the open.  If they 
are spooking on you and you really want some pictures, act just 
like you're hunting them and still- or stand-hunt to get the 
picture.  I got some really good ones of a couple of does last 
season when I couldn't drive to my huntin' spot but I did have 
time to spend the morning in a local state park.

FWIW,

Scott
