Happy Thanksgiving From Cypress Creek

I don’t know where the time has gone, but we are already at Thanksgiving and near the end of deer hunting for 2009. The warm weather has truly been the big story of the season, with the highs staying in the 80 degree range right up until now. And as a matter of fact, we still haven’t even had one night of freezing weather yet, and it doesn’t look like we will before December! Add the tons of acorns in the woods this season due to our wet Spring and a long, drawn out rut, and you have the makings of one of the strangest seasons in a while.

However even in the heat, as we wrapped up the rut over the last few days, our guests killed a few more deer. First we had a crew from the Orlando Bass Pro shop visit, and while they saw quite a few deer including a few good bucks, only Chuck ended up taking a couple of does. And as real hunting usually goes, he saw a giant buck as he walked up to check on the does he had shot. His son Cory missed a doe while coworkers Anthony and Fred both passed on deer.

We also had two members so of our Armed Forces, Tom and Brian, come down for a quick one day hunt. And after enduring a complete downpour on their afternoon sit, Brian killed a tasty, young doe while Tom missed a buck and saw tons of turkeys.

We still have about a month to go, so hopefully we will still get some cold temps before long, and that should help the late-season hunting. So give us a call if you are still looking to squeeze in a hunt this year. And don’t forget that the best time of the year (Jan-April) for hog hunting is just around the corner too, so make sure and to reserve those prime-time dates now.

Happy Thanksgiving from Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge. And as you celebrate with your family, please remember those that are serving our Country.
