start of the 8 ga parkers hunt

[charlie cleveland]

the old 8 s 2nd evening of hunting went down without no deer seen..all we heard was a deer blowing at us dont know if she had smelled us or some other hunter...as we sat in the shooting house we did hear a shot...about 6.30 pm i got a call from my grandsonhe said bring the truck that he had killed a large doe...so i got my truck and went to where he told me he would be but he was still in the woods trying to drag that deer up a steep hill..he had dragged that deer for about 200 yards and liked another 100 getting to the top of that steep hill to the field...so off i go and starting helping him it was the first time i ve heard him say i ve got to rest a minute...that doe was about a 80 lb deer but dragging that thing up the hill mayed her weigh a ton...we got her to the truck and loaded her up and came to the house..we dressed her and she s now in my old refrigerator cooling off....the old 8 will not get to hunt tonite due to my cousins funeral
today so some of you boys get out there and hunt for her...charlie
