Ever had that Devil on one shoulder and the Angel on the other????????
Here it is > I have a place to hunt that is bow only. I have no place to hunt gun. The Pa bow season started October 4th. I put in many hours and see lots of deer ,but no legal bucks or mature does gave me a ethical shot. The Pa. early muzzleloader season started " last saturday. You can shoot only does. This is in conjunction with the on going bow season for buck or doe.
Well my neighbor ask me if I got a deer yet.I said nope. He said that is odd for you. I said I have no place to gun hunt. He said heck I only have 2 acres but it butts up against the bow hunting area. Sit there and plug a doe with your muzzy.
So I went out this morning. Arrived and got seated at 5:45 am. About 6:15 I herd deer going by. To dark and not llegal shooting hours yet. It was very overcast and even at legal shooting hour it was to dark. At 7:30 I seen a body moving slowly out of the brush. I took my omega inline pulled the hammer back and waited for the deer to clear the brush. OH no it is a buck and a big one! The devil on my left shoulder said shoot stupid! No one will ever know,just tag it as a bow kill. The devil said it is big,probably never see it again,infact probably the only deer you will get this year. The angel on the right shoulder said,NO that aint right. You wiil loose self respect for yourself. As the huge buck walked within 15 yards and showed off his 13 pts and 20 inch spread I just hung my head and let it walk.It went about 20 yards beyond me made a scrape and turn around and walked past me again.Again I hung my head so not to look at it. I must admit I was tempted. Soon after the rain started falling to I packed up and went home. Devil Or Angel?? Thats the question??????
