Like the title says, what is your current tally this far into deer season?
This is my second season and the first time harvesting a deer. I got started way late last year and was very inexperienced. This year, however, my buddy took me under his wing and taught me all he knows.
I took my first deer with my bow as she ran right toward me and turned only 10 feet from me. She was only a tiny 80 lb doe, but it is a great memory and feat to take a deer while stalk hunting with a bow.
I took my second deer at 110 yards with my .270 Win rifle while sitting in a lawn chair wearing my leaf suit...lol. Another doe weighing 110 lbs.
And just a few days ago, another doe. But this one at 215 yards with my rifle in the same lawn chair and leaf suit. My buddy said she is the biggest doe ever killed on his land at 140 lbs!
So far, I have 3 in my freezer. All doe so I am ready for my first buck. We have seen some great 8 points in the few weeks before deer season and my buddy killed a big 11 last year so we know they are there. We have decided to let his land sit quiet for a few weeks and just observe. When the rut hits in January here is Alabama, I'll be ready to drop that monster buck. I am very anxious and excited for the future hunting experiences as I am having a great first "real" deer season.
So chalk 'em up folks, what is your count?
