Hello hello!
I went out on the youth hunt and all together saw 6 deer.
First one was one that we scared out of the brush as we (David and I) were walking home in the night/late evening. Then the next morning we woke up nice and early when it was still dark and waited near a clearing in the forest for the deer to come. A mother and her two grown fawns crossed slowly through the clearing about 40 yards from where I sat. It was too dark still for me to see my sights clearly so I did not even try to take a shot... they passed by and I could hear them browsing in the woods not too far away. A cold breeze was blowing (it was very cold) and it tickled my nose... i felt a sneeze coming and told myself "DON'T SNEEZE"! I tried Enoch's trick of pluging my nose to muffle any noise that could break the quiet morning air... i tried... and failed... it was muffled but not enough for the sharp ears of deer. No sooner had i sneezed and I heard the three deer bolt toward the east and two more ran acrossed the clearing to the west. If I had not sneezed one of the two deer going east would have been lined up in my sights.
Alas. Now I wait for november. David is bow hunting... I want to do that sometime!
My dear friend Haley and her family moved back to Michigan at the end of September... when they showed up aty our house as a surprise three weeks ago I was SO shocked! I felt like screeming but could only gasp... they are staying until the spring-- maybe longer!!
Fall is here the trees are SUPER pretty this year!
