Here in IN our shotgun season also starts on the 13th There is nothing like getting out in the woods way before daylight and see and hear the woods come alive with birds and suirrels,and sometimes catch the glimpse of some of the nocturnals making their way back to their lairs. People who havn't been there just don't understand what it is like. I have three daughters, one goes with me once in a while, and that is some special time. Also she's a good blood tracker.

:nod: But what about the deer. I wonder if they get as horney as some humans claim to be? Have you ever researched that question? Could be an interesting government study for some researcher. :nod:

Now...for the "rest of the story" about my deer hunt. Remember...saw five deer yesterday, shot none. Well...today I only saw only one doe running off on a far hill out of my range...and that was just as I was exiting the timber area quitting my hunt for today. That deer was just teasing me I suppose.

So...no venison this year, at least from my gun, because next week ends the season here. Dang it!@#$%^$#@! Yes, it was disappointing not to bag at least one deer. But...like I said before, and as trapfreek posted above, I truly enjoyed the past two days getting out among mother nature and just wishing some big old buck...or even a fat doe...would wander into my range. Wasn't in the cards this year but I'll be back. Had lots of fun, will have a lot of good memories, and would do it again if the opportunity comes up.
