Mike sent me a photo of one of the bigguns on his cell phone this morning with a message that said: "Please don't hate me." Seems that the last buck he shot was, well - let's put it this way, I'm pretty sure that I had an encounter with that one once upon a time:^(  Mike, I don't hate you buddy, but you could have at least missed that last deer . . .

I'm thinking about starting a thread about all of the small deer many of us see and end up arrowing, just to provide a little balance in reporting. Stay tuned, HA.

Life is strange. You never know where it leads. . .

After 30 years of hunting the west----and all points even further west----I finally headed east. North Carolina and Virginia to be exact.

This october, I killed a doe and two of the smallest bucks ever killed by bow and arrow. They were the first white tail bucks I have killed.

Still. . . after three decades of bow-killed antelope and mule deer and moose and bear and coyote, and, yes, of course, big bull elk, I have to admit, the whitetail thing has finally bit.  I will go after them again, but next time, with three weeks of time and a canoe. But that's a story for another time. . .

I packed my mule deer camp in today, and set my tent up in the horizontally blowing snow. The hunt will be cold, and the hunt will be tough, and as always, it will be 100 percent fun.

But man, I can tell you all, when I return from the wilds to civilization, I will be looking forward to Mike's tale and photographs. I am just guessing, but I have a feeling this one's a good one!

P.S. If you don't have Mike's book in your bowhunter library, and in your hunter's heart, well, you need to rub off a little bit more of civilization.

Sorry, no...BIG Mike is technologically capable of putting up his own pics...I only have to help the most senior members of the Brothers of the Bow    ;)

I am sure he will be along soon with pics and stories.  He was pretty busy cutting and caping. I could not get my hands around the bases of either though and could not get my hands around the main beam of the little one anywhere...!
