Was cold this morning, around 26. Had an awesome red sun rise. I went to a big red oak tree in the middle of a hay field. BigA had been seeing this buck when he hunted. (Let's remember BigA in our prays, he is having double knee replacement as I type this.) Right at daylight I had a doe come by and she spotted me. She started blowing at me but did not run off very far. A few minutes late I saw another doe in the field. All in all I had 5 does come in and out of the thicket and got blew at 3 times. I thought the morning was a bust. I was looking at 3 does in the field when I heard something behind me. Turned around a there was this buck feeding on acorns at 12 yd. He feed around and gave me a quartering away 10 yd shot. The arrow hit him in the short ribs and hit the opposite shoulder. I saw him running off with the arrow for about 100 yd. This all took place before 6:30, the sun had not risen above the trees. It was cold so I climbed down and went back to the house. I waited for Greg B to come out of the woods. We went to track 3 hours later and found him where I last saw him running, 100 yd down the hill. Another great morning in the woods.

Once again Keith, nice deer. I'm thinking you must have one outstanding recipe book for venison what with all the deer meat you have in the freezer.
I'm getting a late start this morning as I had to take daughter to school, but they are moving alot this morning so I bet I see a few anyhow. I moved my ground blind last night into a little bowl that has lots of sign and a couple trails running in and out of it. I'm hoping its gonna be a good location. I'm shooting for number 2. We'll see. Danny
