Oct 26.. spent the last 2 weeks looking for deer from my winter blind.I can relax,sip a coffee and just not worry about shooting.I don't pull a trigger until it's below 50 so they can hang a few days.(I process my own) Got a real treat the other night,a very nice 8 pt showed up as well as a 6 pt and 4 does. Thoughts of shooting did not enter my mind,I don't shoot big bucks anymore.I'm after good quality meat only (I haven't taken a big buck in 15 yrs,I'm that serious).The pic was taken thru a window he just kinda poof showed up but did get my juices going .At 20 yds that's pretty cool stuff..Temps are coming down this weekend,getting close.Hope you can get good look without the flash..gardens put to rest, painting the last cub ..time to fill the freezer !! good luck to all you whitetail chasers...
