Mauser, Im pretty sure you your 'hen' is a young of the year jake, justby looking at its feather coloring and head. Good job!!

Did i blow it this morning [:@] Last day of rilfe season and im hunting for the big 8 i have two sets of sheds from. Well he came in on my back side though a wide open field. I dont know why a buck or any other deer would come the way he did but it happened and i couldnt get a shot. I was skylined and he saw my movementfrom 120 yds. Going by his slight shrink in antler size I estimated him at 8yrs old. old bucks like that dont tolerate the slightlest movement. He was gone in a heartbeat. Ive never been more depressed hunting that at that moment.

I still have till jan 15th to get him with a bow but its gonna be tough.
