Just a little update from Pa 4C.

Have been hunting hard all week and due to the weather, rain, wind etc, have not seen a deer. Tonight, after a a few inches of snow here, went hunting this evening. Walked alot, trying to see deer, figuring that I would/ may move some and would see something with the snow on the ground. At about 3:30, I was walking down an old road and spotted some movement. Noticed that it was a deer all by itself. I stopped and we stared at each other for what seemed to be an eternity. Not knowing if whether I should move quick or slow semed like the hardest decision of my life. The doe seemed like it was at about 40 yards. I raised slowly, and due to my movement, she started to run. Figuring she was spooked, I watched her run up a hill and stop. I continued down the road to see what she would do. She ran again, and after running in circles, she backtracked and ran through the woods and attempted to run across the road. she was moving! I raised the gun and by the time I got a bead on her, she was almost across the road. I tried to lead her because of her running and the delay in the muzzeolder. I picked a spot and fired. I missed! I was really upset with myself, but it was then that aI thought that I was lucky to even have the opportunity, no matter the results. I really love this black powder hunting. I am realy not proud of the miss, but I wanted to share. My stance is this. Any day in the woods is a great day. I hope to have another opportunity soon. I want to wish everyone good luck and Happy New Year....Stay Safe.
