I took one big NY buck and then went South to Virginia. Usually I pick up about four deer the early part of Virginny's deer season and then sit back and relax. This year them Virginny bucks made me pay dearly!

I ended up taking two bucks and two does, and one of the bucks was a spike I took on the very last day.

I lost twenty-pounds this deer season without even trying. Whew!

I went to a public land hunt the last day and saw something I never wish to see again. I'm sitting way up on a hill in the early morning when I look across to another hill to see a hunter walk in with two sons. After about twenty minutes two does walked right up to the guy, about 10 to 15 yards away. I waited for the guy's report and when it came I was sure one of the does would either drop or run a bit and drop. THE GUY MISSED! I mean he plain out and out missed! Heck, at that range one of his boys could have taken the deer with a rock.

I'm glad the season's over. I need a break. Gonna do a little squirrel hunting, then get ready for Spring turkey and fishing.
