Went out this morning..about died multiple times from the gail force winds. It paid off when a stumpy FAT doe walked in front of me. Smallish doe..but field dressed 114lbs! Had a LOT of fat on her.

Anywho..I shot her just to tag out for the year...now I can sleep in and participate more in the planning of the wedding. I might go out to take some pics..but that would be about it.

Hard to see, but I passed on a really nice buck (pictured in the center walking away) Friday with my bow..and again on Saturday. Mainly b/c I don't have a buck tag.

The pics originally are 2048 x 1546..but this 100kb size restriction makes me reduce resolution to near impossible to view sizes.

Saw an big racked 8 pointer freshening up this rub Saturday morning. He'll be a monster next year, b/c his body was thin..but antler mass was thick! I got a picture of him before he went and freshened up the scrape..but it's hard to see. I'll still post a sized down pic of it next.

Here it is....this pic really doesn't serve it justice to how big the rack was. If you get an inch away from your moniter..you can see it a little. POS auto flash...although it was at 640 in the morning or so...still very dark out.

sorry Pat, can't see anything on that last pic! LOL I stopped at Hunter's Den on the way home this morning cuz they had one hangin', said they had a 225 lb 10 pointer come in that a gal shot in Corunna yesterday morning. Said they had 130 deer checked in yesterday, by 9am this morning they had yet to see one come in.

Hubby and I already decided we are taking sick days on Thursday to hunt.

I'll make a drawing outlining the deer and antlers tomorrow. It is hard to see..but for reference....it's right eye is glowing in the flash...it's left eye a little...just below center of pic. It's ears are sticking up behind it's head...while it's sniffing an estrous waffer on the ground. It's rack goes a good 6" or 8" beyonds his ears...then curls up and scrapes the ground as it was sniffing.

We're calling it a "Texas deer." All antlers..no body.

At 8am at "The Angler"...had about 15 deer brought in...I had to wait in line. Yesterday, they had trucks lined up on the road waiting to check in deer. It must have been hit or miss this morning.

It's probably just my computer screen resolution or something, because the entire pic is black except for a few spots in the bottom corners...

I've been to the Angler, I usually stop there on my way up to Pigeon River to fish. Nice people in there. My hubby said that any shots at deer would be taken at the crack of dawn, because he figured they would all lay low early because of the wind. He was right in our area, four shots before 7:15, not a single one after that...

I'm chompin at the bit for Thursday, it ought to be a good day with the rain/snow we are gonna get tomorrow and Wednesday, predicted again for Friday. I'm hopin' anyway, I figure I have 4 sick days to use before January 1st, so I am going to have a "doctor's" appt. on Thursday. Yeah... an appt. with doctor death I hope!
