November 4=24 Deer Season

I got back to the deer lease on Thursday. Sure ready for some cool weather.Susan came up on Friday. Lots of folks showed up Friday. Opening day was a Monsoon. It rained hard all day.I killed a big spike. Just had to because he needed to be shot. Mackenna got here at lunch so we hunted that evening. She killed her first deer a nice 8 pt. She made a very good shot at about 125 yards. The deer ran about another 100 yards. She thought she missed it but I was pretty sure it we as a hit. We trailed it and I let her find it. We were both very excited. .For me the next week was pretty slow. I saw a few small does and a couple of bucks that were less than 13 inches ( I wont get started about what I think about that stupid law).Overall we had a good opening week and even better we ate like Kings..After the first ten days the hunting really slowed down. The deer got in their night mode and we are seeing few deer in the day time . One Saturday night we all went to the VFW Hall in Livingston to see Eddie sing with The Southern Breeze Band. They were very good and we had a good time. It has been a wet season so far. It was a slow week before Thanksgiving. Expecting a big crowd the last weekend of doe season
