Geeze Dave! What a story.
I went on my first deer hunt about 50 years ago and have never seen anything like this.
That would make you 97 years of age!
I always thought you were a little older than me.
I don't take any antlered deer. But, I've missed the last two weekends that were antlerless in our county. I'm not even sure how many I could have taken. I just didn't have time to butcher them.
We have been having herds of deer in our side yard, back yard, and by both ponds for the last few weeks. All antlerless. Two big does were looking at me through the kitchen window yesterday morning as I was making my coffee. Now and then I see a buck or two, but they don't count.
I was supposed to be headed to our snowbird home yesterday, but because of weather, I still haven't gone. Had I known I'd be stuck here, I'd have taken a deer or two in the last couple of days.
I'm going fishing. The boat and trailer are hooked up and ready to go. I expect to pull out by dawn tomorrow. The Spanish mackerel, flounder, blues, and drum are on their way south and grabbing anything that gets in their way.
My grandson-in-law will be hunting our WV place this month.
