It has been a pretty good year for the most part. We have some incredible river trips this year and deer season has been successful as well. IN September I sat one of our stands overlooking our wheat and oat patch. It was 89 degrees when I get to my stand, but pics were showing a lot of evening movement. Saw a spike and doe early on feeding on acorns adjacent to the plot pretty early. Later I heard a deer cross the creekbed to my west and finally saw antlers pushing through the brush. I drew back as he entered the plot and was about to shoot when he spun around to the Social Doe I had sprayed all over some overhanging branches. At 15 yards quartering away, I sent an arrow right through his heart. Seconds later I heard him crash and that was it. I will be the first to admit, this deer absolutely fooled me. I thought he was bigger and I probably should have let him walk, but I am still pleased with the finished result and the shot!!! Plenty more stories to come and will be sharing them shortly. Been very busy!!!

Hello ODM (Old Dead Missouri) it has been awhile!!!
Have been meaning to log in and tried to a few times with no success, but RB got me straightened out.
