Took my younger son today. He shot a small doe. Probably not what he wanted, but was exactly what I wanted. We’re gonna try and can it. They’re out moving today.
I miss being a kid. He got out of bed about 9:30. I walked with him up a hollow, and pointed out a deer to him. He shoots it, and he’s done.

Around here on the farm , in "bait country " , you have to make your first shot count as the adjacent landowners (around me) will not allow you to retrieve and animal! High shoulder shot.

Been in here about 90 mins 1 doe came thru the bottoms and up the SE Slope to my right about 20 mins ago. Nothing on her hoof scent.. Yet???? Spring is about 1/2 mile away on bank of Yellow Creek. Gonna tap out of here at noon. Come back before shooting light either tommorow or Tuesday. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/DydF8002/20221218-091257.jpg) Late season and 1 tag left. Can't call it quits till Jan 8. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Arrrrrgh... Something wrong with the water in that spring. Don't have none of that "hard" water over the top of it. Are you in Brazil hunting deer or something?

Arrrrrgh..... Are you fellas still in your rifle season there? Our rifle season is all done up here in Pa. We have archery & flintlock coming up the day after Christmas , but we're only allowed to take one buck per license year, and as many doe's that you have tags for. We have a doe tag drawing & can only apply for doe tags one at a time. You can get up to six of them if you're lucky enough, but they are usually sold out by the second drawing.

We may go back tomorrow and get one to make sausage. For me, trophy hunting season ended last month. We’re freezer filling now.

Me and the kid walked up on a nice buck today, standing broadside to us for at least a minute. I never could get him to see it until it finally took off. Then he couldn’t get a shot.

Went out this morning.
Jumped 2 does on way in.
Parked it right their by the peninsula stand on yellow Creek was heading into the SE corner.
2 mins after I sat down about 80 90 yds out thru the semi lit timber something with a rack was chasing a doe.
Thru out the morning Mr 1.5 yr old 6 Point and his girlfriend came by 2 more times thru the bottom hard woods.
Got up about 10 and went up to southern ridge.
Mr 6 pt and his honey baby came in eating hard browse twigs and buds again.
While working my way up to the ridge jumped a doe and a fawn about 100yds out in the timber.
They took off like Carl Lewis to the west border.
Going back to the other COE/ TWRA spot by the Duck club in the morning.
Trying to get as much time in the woods from shooting light to 1 or 2 in the afternoon before this schitty weather comes in Thursday.
Supposed to rain all day thursday and turn in 1 to 3inches of snow Thursday night.
Might go out to Stewart State Forrest on Friday if enough snow on ground to find track and hit wind sheltered hollows and valleys.
Supposed to be howling wind Friday.
Deer will hole up on sheltered slopes and valleys to get away from it...
Probably do something similar on Saturday but at the COE land by the Duck club.
That's about it for near term hunting plans...
