There was a special youth hunt day Saturday and my buddy brought his daughter to try and get her first deer. It poured all day long. We have chestnut trees in my yard and the does have been pouring down the mountain to them all times of the day and night. I've seen a nice wide 6 pointer occassionally that I hoped she'd get a shot at but he didn't show. The does were moving inspite of the heavy rain. Things didn't go exactly as planned but she got an offhand shot at a big doe but missed. She was moving into position and they were caught flat-footed by the moving deer. Sunday was nice and had the same doe bedded down in my backyard with the other does milling around. Last night had a coyote barking/howling in my field with the barn, less then 100 yards from the house. I may have to break out my rifle and fawn distress call some night this week.
Our opener is this Saturday!
