Deer Hunting

Halloween weekend has historically been a good hunting weekend for Jason and this year was another one. Some say it is luck...some say it's his mad skillz :) 2009 bow kill

Deer season actually started Friday night for some. My uncle Heath got one, with his car, on his trip to bring the boys to Shelbyville for youth season. Everyone was okay, but the car...not so much. The boys practiced shooting the weekend before and were ready for their morning out in the woods. I got up early with them to make sure they didn't need any help and to capture a couple of pictures. The boys were excited...and tired. They left the house a little before six and were in the woods for about 3 1/2 hours. They saw 3 does, but didn't get to shoot at them. However, they did get a few cans with the bb gun :)! Jason had a great time and I think the boys did too.

They didn't get a deer, but they definitely didn't go hungry either :)

The boys went trick-or-treating Saturday night and decided they would try again in January so Jason went bow hunting Saturday night and again Sunday morning by himself. Saturday night he got a turkey, but didn't get a deer. Sunday proved to be a good morning for him as he had this nice looking buck come in. It is his 2nd largest bow kill to date and will be heading to the taxidermist...(Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday to Jason) for another wall hanger.
