Hey John! Hope
your season is going well so far. If you're like me, it's just good to be out
doing what we love to do. I have attached a couple of photos from one of the
deer I got this year. It has been a tough year with high winds and even higher
temperatures, but it sure beats sitting on the couch.Our group has still been fortunate enough to take several does and three bucks including this one. I also got another archery turkey and we filled our fall turkey shotgun tags. This particular deer, while not the biggest I have taken, is definitely one of the most exciting. I spotted him bedded with a doe in a CRP field and after about an hour and a half of belly crawling I got close enough to take a shot. It was neat to watch him stand up, look around, doze off, chase off a couple of younger bucks and basically just do what a deer does in his natural habitat. It's rare (at least for me) to be able to watch a buck interact for that long and that is what made the hunt so enjoyable.  As for Kelsey, she was only able to go one day this year. We saw five deer, but the only one that gave her a good shot showed up before shooting time. Regardless, I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with my daughter and that made the trip worth it. Good hunting and good luck finding the birds, Shawn P See what his daughter Kelsey has done! Or, Shawn's page 1 or 3. |
