Lets see I will start from the beging lol.

First evening of bow season.. I let a huge 8 walk around feeding under my stand for 10 minutes. I was watching a huge (even bigger) buck with drop tines work his way the same way that the 8 did, but he turned when he caught wind of the two does that were 80 yards away. I should have shot the 8.. but of course by then he was out of range.[:-]

Second day of bowhunting I shot a huge bodied spike 6 to 8 inch spikes but a huge body. A very big bodied deer for this part of the state. I shot him right at dark and had an awsome blood trail. Went to the truck to call for my brother and it started pouring. After 8 of us spent from dawn to dusk looking I never found him

After that a I saw does every time and a few small bucks but all out of range. But it doesnt much matter as some butt head stole it and my backpack of all my gear out of my truck[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

Opening day of black powder I saw a doe and another deer I think was a buck but could not tell, it would not come out of the cutovers and it was almost dark. After finding her stand had been tampered with after she climbed to the top of the ladder amd the stand shifting. She got down and called dad who re-attached it and fixed the staps that were cut and the burlap around it. We are pretty sure who did it but cant prove it yet, but we are working on it. She ended up seeing two small bucks but out of range in the thickets. Dad saw one buck but he never presented a shot. My brother had two does run past him, for some reason they were spooked. He never had a chance to get a shot on them since he was expecting them.[:-]

Monday dad shot a nice 8 and mom saw her same two bucks but no shot.

Tuesday morning I saw a doe but no decent shot.

Hopefully tomorrow and Friday and Saturday I will be able to turn my luck around with the cold weather.

SO that makes.. one , two , three.. well a couple of deer sa far

By the way these were all a chunck of land in King George County that is actually beside a new neighborhood. I was not happy when they started putting it in two years ago but I htink I have to say I am happy so far as they have pushed alot of deer over on to us. The other good thing is they are all big lots.. 5 to 20 acres so not alot of houses! WHo knows maybe they will need someone to help then with the shrub eaters
