deer hunt today
got up at 5.00 am this morning fixed myself a big breakfast of 2 biscuits 2 eggs 2 pieces of real hog bacon and some home made jelly and i just about talked myself out of going hunting...my cousin from over in alabama had come over for a weeks hunt with me so he was to meet me at 7.00am and us go hunt...we left my house at 7.15 walking we were going to try walking over some fairly growed up old fields hoping to jump a buck...we found lots of scraps and tracks we only jumped 2 does in them thickets...i needed the parker short barreled ten gauge loaded with buckshot for these thickets...i usally carry a shotgun but i carried a scoped rifle today...we walked till 9.00 and came back to my house i had to stop hunting and go to town...at noon we went back to hunting this time on my grandfathers old farm..i put my cosin terry up in a shooting house over looking a large field there was a good buck and several does useing this field....i went and hunted in a large scope of oak trees hoping to get a buck in my sights...at about5.00 pm i heard something running thru the leaves headed straight for me then it stopped and started bolwing at me..what ever a he or she i never got to see it it went out of hearing blowing at me....i had put out deer lure the wind was dead calm but that deers sharp noise sure picked up my scent....i figured it was probly a big wise old doe.... shooting light had ended in the woods for me so i gathered up my scent lure bottles and got my chair foled up and slung over my shoulder i went back down the beaten path i had come in on. as i got close to the big field i heard a shot when i got to the field terry was climbing down he said he had made a good hit. he was shooting a 308bolt action...the deer went about 60 yards it had crossed a little ditch and almost fell in another road...she was really big and fat....shes now being processed....gota get up early again we gona hunt hard the rest of the week.....charlie
