G-man Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Little twig , little twig your a thorn in my side To small to see at range with the naked eye Protecting your woodland friend who didnt know i was there. I drew back quiet without a sound Aimed carefuly and dreamed of backstrap well done The release pressed The arrow on its way Oh little twig you made my arrow miss high today Im sorry not sorry I pulled you down Snapped you off and threw you on the ground A few profane words may of been said As i walked back to my tree hanging my head..... nywaw, Ncountry, mowin and 4 others 7
mowin Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Oh, I've said a few choices words at random twigs. Couldn't put them in a poem though. 518BowSlayer 1

G-man Posted October 2, 2023 Author Posted October 2, 2023 Hickory nuts fall through the brush Hitting the ground with a ker-plop Leaves like confetti fall through the air Riding the breeze like little sails Yellow orange brown and red When they are all gone the tree looks dead.. Scurrying shuffling in the leaves A grey squirrel pops out next to me Heavy footfalls coming fast Looks like a doe has a coyote on its ass I break the silence of the dawn The coyote stops with my bow drawn The hiss of the string The woosh of an arrow The yote screams like a kid who is out of jello It doesnt go far The woods quiet down Crimson sprinkled all over the ground The smile i have may seem kind of crass But that is what a coyote get from chasing ass....

G-man Posted October 2, 2023 Author Posted October 2, 2023 This one would fit today... Sweating sitting in a tree Wondering when a bear i will see? Squirrels, rabbits , grouse stroll by But is a bear i want to spy with my eye. The leaves have all fallen Noise is all they can make When footfalls crush them And rustling at the winds fate But all is silent in the woods Making any noise wouldn't be good Only a chickadee chirps out its name Then another answers with the same Perhaps they are just laughing at me Me Sweating ...Sitting in a tree ... mowin and nywaw 2
fletchny11 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 I know it's poetic license and all but I can't get past the strap WELL done..... 🙃 JohnPlav, nywaw and mowin 3

I would have said "rarely done" but it might be confused with me also being a bad hunter. I still think that's better than well done backstraps!

Well done would mean cooked to perfection not the cook temp of the meat.. its not ordering at a restaurant

Well at least two of us did. But the poems are great, we're just being nitty! fletchny11 1

G-man Posted October 3, 2023 Author Posted October 3, 2023 Birds flocking flying south Blue Jays seem to have a really big mouth Yelling at me in a tree It wasn't him I came to see He finally leaves and the woods quiet down Lots of birds singing to greet the dawn Chickadee, thrush, crow I hear Golden crowns ringlets greet my ear Sparrow's, Robin's, blackbirds chirp along Perhaps they sing as fall is almost gone Can hear squirrels and rabbits chewing now Putting on fat before the cold winds howl No sign or sight of my quarry around At least I can listen to all the woodland sounds. nywaw 1
G-man Posted October 3, 2023 Author Posted October 3, 2023 In the darkness early morn. I wait to hear the birds welcome the dawn With stick and string in hand I wait Perhaps a big buck today will meet its fate Footfalls crunch the dry leaves I hope it's a big buck oh god please drawing closer it seems as I await Oh no my knees are starting to shake. Suddenly a snort and I can hear it run Bucks dont get big by being dumb....... nywaw 1
mowin Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Do you have one where the deer doesn't get away. I'm getting depressed. Edited October 3, 2023 by mowin nywaw and fletchny11 2
G-man Posted October 3, 2023 Author Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Five foot of snow fell the night before No one wanted to go out the door Onto my feet the snowshoes were strapped Told the fellas I was headed out back Was hard walking in the snow But I wasn't the only one to give it a go I saw his silhouette crossing the field Didn't know how big, but it was it would make many meals I tried to run thru that deep snow But it made the woods before I made much of a go Finally got to where I saw its tracks Started to follow them but,There he was doubling back I line up my shot and let the ball fly Smoke filled the air so thick it could make one cry He jumped up and seemed to fly at the sound of the gun. It didn't seem like he was having fun I got to where he was standing when the smoke cleared Found a tuft of hair like the nanny goats beard No blood at all on top of the snow 30 ft between its leaps as i tracked it in the snow Then there it was standing ahead But was it my deer or was mine dead? It lifted its head and there was no being mistaken It was the buck I shot, standing there for the taking Fired a second ball and he went down Thrashing and feet flailing around I ran to it and put a ball in its chest It was an awesome buck ! it is my best!

G-man Posted October 4, 2023 Author Posted October 4, 2023 Pumpkins ripen Apples fall from the tree A hint of color appears on the leaves Air is chill with a northerly breeze Summer is ending Autumn is near An arrow hisses thru the air A thump of a hit, A deer flees in terror A splash of crimson on the ground, Is what i really hope is found. If my shot was true, Not far away Lays food for my family on this day. mowin 1
