Chris, you sent me a prayer and it blew back to you. hahahahaha.

I had a great morning. Covered in deer for hours and had a nice buck at 15 yards...almost shot him but chose to pass.

Well guys my vacation ended today. I gave it all I had for two weeks. I must have seen 50-60 deer, had 30 or so within range, passed 8-10 2.5 year old bucks up to 100 inches, and had three mature bucks within 40 yards. However, no buck down, yet. I still have 6 weeks left in the season and even though my job in finding a good buck will decrease now that the rut is slowing down, I will still be hunting hard. I did arrow a second doe for the freezer Monday so at least I will be eating good, in fact my kids and I will be eating the backstraps tonight. :)
