I'm afraid I've been taking fishing time off to go hunting this year. I came close on some turkeys but didn't get any. Deer season last year (my first time hunting) brought me close calls and no deer. This deer season was different. I went 10 trips without seeing anything, then, when I was in a stand with my brother, he shoots and drops a spike. 4 minutes later another spike walks out, looks at the dead deer and starts to eat corn, and I proceeded to miss him. A couple trips later after seeing nothing that was big enough to make a single burger out of, I missed a doe. I went to a different stand thinking that one was bad luck and my friend sees a black panther and close to 30 deer in the same stand I missed two out of while I see nothing in the new stand. After a few more unsuccessful trips, I killed a big doe last week. She bled enough to get the tip of your finger wet, and I got lucky to find her. Yesterday, I went out to a different stand and shot a nice 6 point. One point was broken off, but it was respectable for my first buck and because it was in SC. I was the only one to bring a deer in to the processor yesterday afternoon. Also earlier on in the year, I shot a coyote eating a dead deer while I was deer hunting. No picture of the doe yet (disposable camera) or the buck but I have a picture of the rack.
