This year we just weren't seeing any deer in the areas that were full of em in years past. Most all the deer we saw taken were very small bodied young spikes and forks. My dad and I finally went into an area where I had seen a number of elk in years past and hit the ground. Kicked up this Monday at 930. He ran across in front of me at about 40-45 yards and with a solid hit he was dead and down within 20 yards.
I made a choice a long time ago that I didn't want to shoot very young deer on the idea that a few years will give them a chance to grow and breed so I am thankful to have found and taken him. I am also going to Indiana for a white tail hunt next week so I felt that while I want meat I have a good chance of harvesting a nice buck there. I'll add a picture shortly.
