Going deer hunting

[remrogers]

Going hunting for the next week. Last I heard their internet was off line. Might not be able to post "Today in history" until next Friday.

Yah but if you tell us about the hunt events next Friday it will truly be a day in History. 

Good luck out there

Not much to tell. Was snowy and cold with most mornings around 5 degrees and I don't believe it got over 30 this past week. Had snow squalls that dropped visibility to fifty or sixty yards, but mostly moderate to heavy cloud cover. Along with some health conditions of my friend and a general lack of deer, caused us to hunt less and spent time soaking up heat from the wood stove. Predictions of heavy snow and strong winds led me to make arrangements to come home a day early.

They had already filled one doe tag for him and his wife tagged both a buck and a doe for her.
I did manage to fill a hole in his freezer with a big doe. Was on stand when two does walked out in front of me. Took a 160 yard shot, they spun around and headed up the hill. Was a blood trail that a blind man would have been able to follow. Had hit her in the throat and cut some major arteries. She only went 45 yards and lay down and bled out. Should be some good eating.

Think I'll go earlier in the season next year as the deer had been rousted about for a couple of weeks before I got there. Am always amazed how much steeper the hills are and continue the steepen as I have gotten older. Had a great visit, but it is good to be home.

Congrats on the venison for the freezer and I can totally relate to many changes as I have aged.
