I posted this in our contest thread but wanted to share it with everyone.
Shortest hunt ever!!!!!! I know I have not been on much but my season thus far has been a disaster sent directly from Murphy himself. I will tell you all about that in another post. This is about today. I work nights and my wife works days so most mornings I get home run in the house kiss the wife hello/goodbye get 2 of the kids up and feed them then on the bus. I watch the little one all day till wife gets home. (REPEAT -Mon. throughFri.). This is my life when I don't take time off to hunt. Well today happened to be garbage day!!! so while I was taking out the trash to the road I herd the dog raising hell. I went to lookIsaw him down in this little crick bottom next to our house. I went inside grabbed my bow slipped around the house, squeezed between the house and the shed, peeked around the corner and there he was 30 yards away. Twack!! He took off ran through the creek and went across the road and expired in the parking lot of a restraint. Needles to say I jumped in my truck ran over and retrieved him. (note to self work out more) holey cow I have never tried to pick up a deer with guts before. and as a bonus I could not jump in and drag him because I had the cover on and no time to take it off. here is a pic my 8 year old son took before he got on the bus. I will measure him and post it after I dress him later. I know he ain't much but he Is the first buck I have taken with my bow since my mom died of cancer in 2002.
P.S. as youcan see I still have on me work clothes.
I decided to add this pick too she is much cuter than her old man.
Here is my 3 year old good luck charm just before I gutted it. eeewwww STINKY!!! She hung around until I opened his zipper. I nipped the gut and cut the aorta and one lung.
