Rhododendron? This here is Pennsylvania, we say mountain laurel hahaha

@Jake Lutz  lol  yea it looks kinda like Laurel  but way bigger bushes. I hunt alot of areas with laurel.

December 7th 2022  started off  with a half hour nap after parking at a trailhead with rain pounding the pickup truck roof. With gray skies and a slight rain and fog my brother and I sneaked our way through the woods still hunting which is one of my favorite ways to hunt with my Winchester featherlight 270.  Even though it was dreary I,m always excited what a day in the woods may bring.  As we crossed one ridge and waded a knee high deep stream and peaked up on a low oak flat bench hidden by rhododendron on the creek bank my brother whispers BUCK!  We slid behind a big oak and watched him bedded down chewing his cud in the morning rain and I patiently waited until he stood up for a better shot.  A perfect lung shot ended my chase of the amazing pa public land buck.  Weather can sometimes challenge you mentally but I wasn't gonna let a couple harmless rain drops stop me from accomplishing my goal of getting my 1st triple trophy this year. With my pa bear and buck tags punched, I'm looking forward to chasing sring gobbler to seal the deal.
