Yep it is fun Greg, and you are so right about late season deer with a bow, it can be really tough even though Beau sometimes makes it look easy. ??? No deer sightings yesterday only saw 3 coons and 2 Tree rats, nothing much moving for some reason. :-\ Calling for a light snow tonight and the last weekend is supposed to be bitter cold with highs in the high teens Burrrrrrrrrrrr What a way to end the season. ;) :)

It has been a tough season down this way. Drought for October and November with hot weather and it has rained most of December and into January. :( I did blow a shot on a nice buck back in November. He passed under my treestand at about four yards but heard my sleeve rustling when I drew. That got him all geeked up. Trotted out to twenty yards and froze. He was on alert and I debated on shooting at all. Shot under him by about two inches - I really thought he would flinch, but I was wrong. Sucker stood there at attention till that arrow went by and then he walked off like he didn't have a care in the world. Oh well, it was nice to be that close to such an old mature buck. Sad, but that was the highlight of the season so far. I am taking off ten days during the peak of the rut and I will post some pictures later, win or lose. :)

Well closed out the season Saturday Morning, the season ended Sunday but I usually don't hunt Sunday so I made my last stand Saturday morning. 7 degrees and winds out of the N at 10 so to say it was cold would be under statement. But fun just the same. The sun rise was beautiful and felt really good on the side of my cold face. :) We do have a landowner doe only hunt this week but I probably won't go out, if I do it won't be hunting it will be grocery shopping with the AR. Hope yall had a good season, I know I did. ;) :)
