Well, in the last few minutes of legal shooting time, on the last day, last hour, I saw a group of does coming down the farm lane toward Jeremy, who was sitting in the "Island Stand". It was getting so dark, but he made a nice shot on a big doe--"makin' meat". The 20 ga H&R single shot, rifled bull barrel put a devastating hole in that deer--never had an easier blood trail, ran 40 yds and piled up just inside the woods. Really didnt want to mess with a deer in the dark, but turned out ok. Of course, he has to work in Pittsburg tomorrow, so good old dad will take it to the processor--dont feel like butchering it myself. Ive passed up several small bucks, and would have taken a big 8 yesterday, but just didnt have the shot I wanted. There is still a weekend gun season in 2 weeks and muzzleloader season to fill my tag.
