Season Done For Me
 

2009-10 deer season closed for me here on Jan. 31. Had a good one too. Freezer is filled witrh fresh venison and I had some to give away as well. Nothing really big killed. Got a noice 10 pt. that barely broke 130 B&C, a heavy but narrow racked 9 pt. that weighed almost 200# and a wide 8 pt. Plus bagged our club's goal of 5 does each membrer. My blood tracker Dachshund, Mojo, found 8 of the 11 he was asked to trail. Of the 3 he did not find, one he tracked for over a mile before the blood trail ended. One I think is a dead deer from the shooter's description of the arrow placement, but it too was trailed a long way before we ran out of blood. Two of the 8 he found, we never would have. My very ill brother (blood cancer) was able to make it another season and despite being weakened by the disease, he managed to kill a decent 8 pt. and a young 7 pt. That in and of itself made my season.

Now to start getting ready for next year. First move ... surgery tomorrow to repair a torn bicep! So maybe next season I can go back to shooting my compound !!

Sounds like a killer season to me!! Congrats on all of it and to your Bro. Good luck with getting back to archery.

how have so many deer when you shoot that many!? jw

Yep that sounds like a good year.
