Took my daughter with me this morning on opening day of BP for W of the BR. This was her first shot with a gun bigger than a 22. I was trying to video and I actually have footage of the deer, but the rail around my stand is too high for her. I set the camera down and let her sit on my lap. She took him at about 75 yds +/-. There were other deer in the field and I took a 4 pt. Needless to say her deer is already at the taxidermist. I wouldn' t be as excited if it had a shot it myself. It has definitely been a memory maker day!
Also the earlier post about the rut, well they' re definitely chasing the does now.
You know, now that I think about it. I heard two gunshots relatively close together this morning, they were probably 10 or 15 seconds apart (if I remember correctly), and I thought that was kinda strange being this is muzzleloader season. Could you be that close to where I' m hunting?
I hunt off of Hollow Rd (sorta). Just curious where you might be located.
See plenty of deer around here but haven' t seen any signs of buck yet.
[&:]I grew up near Hollow Rd, actually out on 522, but I was quite aways from your area. No chance that it was me. I still hunt back home, but not that often. The majority of my hunting is done in Clarke Co. It' s hard to find a good place to hunt, but I learned if you pay your dues in the summer time (mending fence, making hay, etc...) come deer season, you' ll have a place.
