2nd cold snap of the year and this one came with some snow. I knew it should be a good day to tag a deer or at the very least see a deer. So once again I got up before dawn had some coffee and off to a winter wonderland deer stand. It wasn't too long after sunup that I began to see movement... so I watched the squirrels until something else caught my eye. A decent buck was up and walking towards me, I think it's that same 8 that I told him to stay away. Well, he kept getting closer but he always was covered by brush so I didn't really have a clean shot. It took him a while but after he was done making a rub he headed into a little clearing.... The borrowed 243 roared and the bullet found it's mark, the buck did a bronco kick and headed straight back towards me (that's always good) before expiring. I sat in my stand until 9:30 hoping to double up, and almost thought I could but the doe's were too small. So I got down got some pics and got to work.

| This is where he died |

| I've drug many deer up this hill, I now employ a rope at the top and pull myself and the deer up | . |

| Turns out it wasn't the 8 which made me feel better.... maybe I'll see him next year. |
I keep forgetting my tripod so I can't get some good pics, but my phone does a pretty good job.
Just hate the selfie look.😠
Well, I got one more week of rifle and I'm hopin' to drop a decent doe, as of these last couple weeks all I'm seeing are fawns.
I should be able to get in a duck hunt next week too, I'm really missing me some duck hunting.
