Well, we made it back from the Ohio youth hunt and Jen had a great time and actually passed up several bucks at point blank range. She had a nice buck at 8 yards but it had a broken rack on one side. She didn't want to shoot it. On the last hunt she had a decent 8 pt and took a shot. She felt she had a good shot but unfortunately the shot was off a little. Overall, it was a wonderful time with Jen and Tyler.
I was finally able to get back into the stand yesterday morning before work and a young doe decided to commit suicide. My wife always tells me to shoot the small does, so I did what she said yesterday and added a very good eater to the freezer. It was a gift from above and the deer simply came right up to the stand and posed for me broadside at 5 or 6 yards. I fortunately, took my time and picked a spot and had a nice short tracking job. Sometimes you just have to be grateful for the gifts given to you. I still have a buck tag and I'll be back after them tomorrow and Saturday. Good luck to all. They are still moving. Unfortunately, it was a hunt before work and I didn't get any good pictures. I simply have one of it hanging in the garage. Not a good photo.
