The Deer #18
You've
been sitting patiently and quietly in your ground blind for 2 1/2 hours.
Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, just birds and squirrels doing
bird and squirrel stuff. The last half hour you've been kinda having problems
keeping your eyes open. Crunch! A step in the leaves brings you back into
the moment. More crunches -- in a rhythm that can only be a deer. You peer
through the blind's window, searching through the limbs and trees.

This
afternoon Doug Whitteburry saw 5 does near his Strip stand but failed to
get a shot. The Duck saw a sixer at the "L." This morning he hunted the
Hammer Hole and saw two young bucks. Rick Philippi hunted the Hammer Hole
this afternoon. A button buck walked by. An hour before dark Rick heard
a loud wild hog fight nearby. Later on two small black pigs walked out
of the brush and waited as more hogs approached. A large brown one walked
into the clear. Rick drew and shot, but his arrow missed. Meanwhile I was
in my ground blind near the scrape on my own property. I didn't see any
deer but I saw a million dollar sunset and got a picture of it from the
blind's shooting window. I put it on my computer as wallpaper, maybe you'll
like it too. I call it Fire In The Sky. (1024x768)
