first time in a long time that i haven't shot a deer during the rifle season. kicked a small herd out of their beds first thing in the morning......they were laying 50 yards off the road. there was no wind what so ever so it made it next to impossible to track them down for a "sneak" attack. walked and sat most of the day until about 3. then i sat where i thought they might come by but never they never did. oh well my wife got her first deer ever this year which was a pretty nice 6 point.....that made my season.
