I have some good news here. My son who was stationed in Afghanistan in the army is home for good. I put him in one of my best morning stands and he whacked his first deer ever. He is hooked for life. Here are a couple pictures. Nice looking doe!!!!!

WV opener was today....this morning I was out early but didn't see a deer. Hunted until 10:30am and came home to eat some lunch and watch the WVU game. What a crazy game!?! 70-63 and Geno Smith just about locked up the Heisman trophy today.
But then it was over and I headed back to the stand to try and get a doe. At 4:15 I was getting my gear settled in when a doe and two yearlings passed by in the thick brush. No shot so I watched them until they vanished. At 4:35 I leaned back in my summit ultimate viper and took a nap(it's hard getting adjusted back to day's after working nights). At 5:45 I woke back up and stood up to stretch. As I'm leaning against the tree I see a deer coming. It ended up being 8 deer. One small spike, three yearlings and three good sized does. As they passed by I waited for the last doe and took the shot about six yards from the base of my tree. The rage entered between the shoulder and spine and buried in the brisket. Hit both lungs and the deer pretty much dropped on the spot and spun about three circles and was dead within 12-15 seconds.
