This is the last day of our late season antlerless deer season. I will be in the blind this pm with a fine custom rifle probably in 257R. Not just any doe will do as we have instituted a Trophy Doe theme on the property. I'm looking for that long nosed gray faced old biddy with the sway back. There out there and an old doe is way smarter than a young buck. The problem lies in that the bucks are shedding their antlers so you have to be careful at what your shooting at so you don't accidently kill an antlerless buck. I found a shed while walking to the blind last week.

Years ago my skeet shooting two man team partner and I would go Grouse hunting in the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area this borders the Shennendoah National Park so for Virginia the grouse population is pretty decent but rather VERTICAL !

Now any more I just go out and sit in a treestand and watch the sun come up hoping a deer will walk by .

Biggest difference between now and then is the partying . When we'd go after grouse I was usually hung over and lacking sleep . Now not so much LOL's !

Was out this morning about half an hour before legal shooting time and stayed up the tree until noon . No deer but a very pleasant morning mid 30's and virtually no wind !
