Caution deer tales ahead!!!

I have been out at mom and dad's since last wednesday and am leaving tomorrow. We came out so we could get some hunting in. Mom made an awesome hunters breakfast with about 12/13 here. The neighbor Dan got a four pointer and Bob one of the hunters got a 6 point but it wasn't any good...guess it had a gash or something on it and was infected. So that was the excitement for that day. Oh yeah, I did see six at one point and couldn't get a shot off that would have hit anything and I also couldn't get my safety off:-) Whooops. I did see a mink, and baby beaver also.

George left yesterday for home cause he had to work today. I decided to go out this morning to see if I could get anything. I was in our usual spot and I hear rustling around behind me...I turn and sure enough see a doe looking at me....I shot and knew hit it cause right then the stream turned red....I couldn't figure out where to go into the brush cause its so thick so decided to go up on this ridge to see if I could see anything, and I did see something....a buck staring at me. So I took a shot at him. Pretty sure I missed cause he took off running. So back to the doe I go. I start into the thicket and sure enough there it is, she takes off running but left a trail so I knew she wouldn't go far...or so I thought. Needless to say I spent an hour and half tracking her over hill and dale:-)I also forgot to tell you that I had by this time run out of bullets. So I took a few shots at her with my camera. :-) Finally she dropped for good right next to the railroad tracks which made it easy to pick her up with the four wheeler. So finally after about 2 1/2 hours I came back home with a doe:-)

So tomorrow we head home and will head over on Thursday to Eric and Lori's for Thanksgiving so I'll write after that! Til next time!! for more pics you can go to
