I had a 10 or so hour Civil War relic hunt yesterday, with my favorite find of the day being a beautiful fawn that I almost stepped on. This deer was so still, with only a little nose movement when breathing. I only took time to snap a photo, then left the fawn in peace.

The relic hunt was a mixed bag. My intention was to hunt a wooded area for the entire day since I had found 30+ bullets in 3 hrs the last time I was there.....but the mosquitos had other ideas. I tried twice to go in, heavily sprayed down each time, but I didn't last 10 minutes total....they bit places like my lips and eyelids and biting through my gloves was no problem either. I'll never go out without a good head net again.

I was able to find a few bullets in a recently planted field that the farmer OKd., so everything turned out good......

You've got quite a site to hunt there! Congrats on the bullets and your hunts! :occasion14:

Nice picture of the fawn. And congrats on the bullets.
 

great hunt in spite of the bugs. the wife came busting in the house this morning and told me that a small fawn with spots had just hurried across within feet of our house towards the woods, normally they sit tight until mamma comes and gets them
 

Great looking enfields other other bullets, your like the 5th person I've seen so far have an encounter with a fawn lol great stuff and killer day!!!
 

Congrats on all of the nice bullets, and not stepping on that fawn.

I agree that the Fawn is the Find of the day.

You do got some good sites , Nice fired bullets 'take those any day'.

The Mosquitoes are Bad there I can not say they go after my lips or eyelids the gnats do go for the eye's .

To hunt the South in the Summer , you have to be Die hard.

P.S. Those woods are waiting for you later.
