| DECEMBER
Tuesday, the 54th day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (5:35am) Sure am sleepy. But headed for the Rock Ledge and the new stand that borders one of the bombers hiding place. (11:50) No deer seen from the stand but 3 does crossed ahead of me on the way to my truck. Next I went to the Back 200. One of my key stands is in a oak tree that got the "Wilt" this year. The tree is rotten and no longer safe to climb. I put up a treestand in the next major crossing area. I'm calling this stand site Turkey Farm. (The Back 200 is adjacent to a 1,000 acre tract of woods owned by a Turkey Farm. They don't allow hunting on the property. So setting up on a major trail coming from there . . . I think you get the idea. (6:30pm) I hunted the Pocket again. The 3rd time was not a charm. I saw a couple dozen wild turkeys (3 were gobblers), about 35 yards away, and 3 does, a little further. That's no bow shot. Wednesday, the 55th day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (5:01am) Sure am sleepy. Oh well, it's the toll under the bowhunting bridge, I'm gonna eat some pop tarts, have a cup of java and head out for the Rock Ledge. Maybe big boy will let me teach him about archery this morning. Rick Philippi is coming up for the afternoon hunt. (10:13am) Just got in. Interesting morning. About 7:15 three does came walking by me, right where I want the deer to go. (That's always neat, to see the deer show up, in the right place, at a brand new stand site. I'm ready to harvest a doe but I walked them. I like to let the first ones through go on by unmolested. Shortly after 7:30 a young doe came through. Her tail was tucked, her hocks were coal black, and she was, ah, spreading scent around the area. She hung around until almost 9:30. Walking, looking, waiting, and placing scent. I grunted her over twice to get a good close look at her. She is this year's fawn crop, but she is in rut. It's not the rule, but it is not uncommon either. No bucks showed up to court her so she went down the rock ledge. I waited 15 minutes and headed for the house. (2:15pm) Pop Quiz! Option #1: I have a new stand in the Back 200 and it's on a trail currently used by big bucks who stay on the neighboring Turkey Farm. I'm very anxious to hunt there. Option #2: A rutting doe was at the Rock Ledge most of the morning. No bucks showed to woo her. Ok, what would you do? But, don't email me, I get too much email allready. I'm going deer hunting. C-ya after dark. (6:10pm) Guessed wrong. Hunted the Rock Ledge and never saw a single deer. But I did watch something very cool. For the 3rd time in my life I got to watch a spider make a web from scratch. It is awsome how they drop from a limb and play the wind to attach a strand to a lower limb and then climb back up that strand. And from a couple of those they build a web scaffold and drop down and attach all over the place. Rick and Doug are down. I'm headed to check on them. (7:30pm) Rick didn't see any deer. Doug saw 3 Bucks. (He's already filled his buck tag.) Thursday, the 56th day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (5:01am) Sleepy again. But, I'm up and getting ready. I'm going to the Rock Ledge. Rick is at his River Stand. Doug is going to the Strip. (8:45am) I got snorted going to the stand in the dark. (It happens.) No deer showed and around 8:00 the neighboring rancher turned his cattle into the grain field that's downhill from the Rock Ledge. We are talking noisy, here. I gave it 30 minutes, in case they ran any deer to me. But they didn't and I came in early. I've got a lot to do anyway. (10:34am) Doug saw 3 bucks and one doe -- and the cows stampeeding into the grain field. Rick saw a flock of wild turkeys. (2:30pm) Rick and I are headed for the Back 200. We are dropping Doug off at the Strip. (6:25pm) Doug saw a forky. Rick & I saw 3 does when we drove out. Now it is making rain. Friday, the 57th day of Deer Season 1998: (5:01am) A couple of Pop Tarts, some OJ, java, oatmeal and I'm off. Can't decide where to go: to Scrape City, Alex's Road, the Pocket or Point, somewhere else? I'll take a shower and pick one. (10:00am) PIcked the wrong one, Alex's Road. No deer. Rich Petersen, the bowhunting.net Chaplain, is coming down tonight to hunt this weekend. (2:55pm) I am really sleepy, it's the middle of the day too. Oh well. Off to the Pocket. I'm going to bounce around the stands until I find where the deer are moving now. (9:00pm) There was no deer movement at the Pocket this afternoon. NOTES: From all indications the rut has peaked. Most of the does are back in groups again. The bucks have all disappeared, for now. And overall deer sightings are way down. Saturday, the 58th day of Deer Season 1998: (5:01pm) I didn't hunt this morning and spent the day at the HTC office converting files for the new upcoming Jim Fletcher Archery web site. I just got home and it is too late to go out, but I drove down to Alex's Road and saw a group of does in the woods and another group was close to my cattle guard. (5:21pm) I'm gonna take tomorrow off (from hunting). I've been hard at it for weeks, either updating the web site or deer hunting. Heck, I'm heading for the "Shoe", I might just party a little. Sunday, the 59th day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (1:01pm) I didn't hunt this morning and logged lots of sleep. I'm headed to Storm's Hamburgers in Hamilton, TX. Gonna scarf down a Storm's Special (mega hamburger & fries) and then I'm changing my mind and gong deer hunting this afternoon. (6:11pm) I hunted at Alex's Road. Early on a lone button buck walked through my shooting lane. His hocks were coal black and he was walking and looking. Every year I see a few buttons that are more aware of the female types than most of the year's newborn buck crop. On our lease we don't harvest button bucks, they are the bucks of the future. Monday, the 60th day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (5:01pm) Wish I had steak and eggs for breakfast! Or corn beef hash from The Stage in NYC! Back to reality, a couple of pop tarts and I'm going to the Rock Ledge and waiting for some deer. (9:22am) The deer are moving again. At good light I saw a buck throung the limbs of a nearby tree, approaching from my front. He passed by me at 10 yards, right in my shooting lane. Big bodied, heavy but narrow rack (probably 12-13 inches), the main beams were almost touching, I counted 10 points. When he was clear I looked at my watch, 7:12. Before long I saw 2 unidentified deer at the 8-Degree Crossing by the 3rd Fence. Later 3 does came through the same place. At 8:15 a doe walked up from the Rock Ledge and browsed around for half an hour. I got out a new deer call that someone sent me and rolled the dial on it. The doe flagged and took off! (Monday afternoon & night) I worked on the Bowhuntingstore.Com site at HTC and it took until 3:00am. So I didn't hunt in the afternoon. Tuesday, the 61th day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (2:41pm) I was too sleepy to wake up this morning in time to hunt. But I'm getting ready to go in a minute. I'm hunting at the Rolled Wire stand by the Rock Ledge. (3:15pm) Woops - from my back door I can see 3 does browsing by my 2nd fence. I'll never get by them to go to the Rock Ledge. Off to Alex's Road. (6:19pm) No deer movement in the Alex's Road area. Wednesday, the 62nd day of Deer Season 1998: (5:12am) Coooold weather for a change, all of 34 degrees. (Bet you folks in Minnesota & Canada, getting ready to go out, would like to see it this warm.) It's a two pop tart morning, gotta get the body heat up. I'm hunting the Rolled Wire stand -- where I saw the 10-point Monday morning. Maybe his poppa will show up. Or maybe the big doe will return, I'm out of venison. (8:44am) First a doe walked past and went down the Rock Ledge. (I usually let the first deer through to get fresh, safe, scent in the area.) The fenceline is about 80 yards away and a doe came from the opposite side and jumped it, but hung it's hind leg in the wire. It thrashed wildly for a couple of minutes and, surprisingly, pulled out. It stayed in the area for half an hour. At first it was very lame and walked with accented swagger. Soon it started browsing, but it still walked crippled. Finally, it seemed to improve and moved off, on it's way. (2:50pm) I'm getting ready an heading for the Rolled Wire stand. It's 48 degrees, very still and very overcast. (3:06pm) Woops, it is raining. I'm gonna have to hold up until I can tell if it is rain to stay or if it stops. Hunting with a bow & arrow in the rain is not a good thing. (3:29pm) It stopped. I'm outta here. (7:30pm - Afternoon hunt, at the Rolled Wire stand) Hadn't been in the stand long, it was a little before 4:00, when I spotted a large brown body (deer) coming from the cedars toward the Rolled Wire fence crossing. One look at the buck's rack and I knew I was going to shoot if I got the opportunity. He cleared the fence and moved in my direction. I got ready to shoot. This buck was not the bomber but it still had a very fine set of 8-point antlers. It stopped 40 yards from me, to my front. The body language said, "I smell something." I made a conscious search for the wind direction. The wind was cold and blowing on the right side of my head, with my mask on I could feel it's chill on my right eye. Good. It wasn't me. But the buck turned and walked off to the left, toward the area where a couple of does have hung out the last few days. Its nose went to the ground several times. Very quickly it was 60 yards away, straight upwind from me, proving that he hadn't smelled me, as well as that my scent killing method was working). I pointed my grunt tube behind me, toward the Rock Ledge, and made a short, low grunt. It took a few more steps (Had it heard it? Was it unconcerned?) and stopped, swinging his head in my direction. I recognized that body language too, it meant he was gonna come closer. Through the oak limbs and live oak leaves I watched him close the distance to 35 yards, where he stopped and surveyed the entire area. Ground level visibility is excellent and he had no problem figuring out that no other deer was in sight. Then he looked back toward where he had been. He turned to go back. I grunted again. Again, he turned and checked out the area, but not advancing. Then he turned away. There was no need to grunt again, the scent he was looking for was a stronger pull. Zig zagging along, he cut toward the fence, dropping his nose to the ground as he went. I could tell when he found the trail. He sped up and moved further away and in a moment I saw him go back over the fence, but this time at the 8-degree fence crossing (120 yards away). I looked at my watch, it was 4:02. At 5:17 an unidentified deer ran full tilt through the 8-degree area an cleared the fence full stride. At 5:25 another deer, this one a buck, raced up to the fence and smelled the ground, and then hopped it and dissappeared. And that was it. A great day bowhunting in natures wonderful outdoors. The buck is still out there good to go. And so am I. Life is good. Friday, the 64nd day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (5:00am) Rain. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. (3:00pm) I'm ready to go but it is drizzling rain again, 38 degrees and a fair amount of wind. Three hours of setting in this stuff and I'll be soaking wet and not a fun guy. I'm gonna wait and watch the weather and see if it stops. If it quits soon I'll go to the Rolled Wire stand. If it's after 4:00 I'll opt for the quick in and out and hunt on Alex's Road. (6:50pm) Cold, windy and wet afternoon hunt at the Rolled Fence. The rain was done but the wind in the trees dripped rain the whole time. On the way to the stand I noticed a doe looking at me and I veered off away from it until I was completely out of view. Then I cut to the Rock Ledge and came up at the Rolled Wire stand and slipped up the tree. I could see a doe but it wasn't looking at me. (Sometimes It goes good.) At 4:12 - a doe was at the 8-Degree crossing. Two more came at 4:21. Another at 4:34. But nothing was where I was. Saturday, the 65nd day of Deer Season 1998 (In Progress): (11:00 am) Nice clear morning. I saw 4 does but quite a ways off. Robbie had a big 18 point come under his tree . . . just kiddin' (bet that got your attention Rick!). But he did see some does but no shot opportunity. (2:00pm) Robbie is hunting Alex's Road. I am on the way to Fort Worth to meet Leroy Sisco and we will leave for Illinois. Sunday - Friday in Brown County (Golden Triangle country). Saturday, the 71st day of Deer Season 1998: (2:15pm) I just finished unloading my gear and setting up my computer. It's overcast and and apparently it was raining yesterday or earlier today (lots of standing water around). I'm taking a shower, putting on my hunting stuff and heading for the Rolled Wire Stand. (7:12pm) Short story. Perfect afternoon for good deer movement, but no deer. I'm headed to the Red Barn for dinner. Rick Philippi called me a few minutes ago and tomorrow he, his son Ricky and Jeff Gossett are all coming down to bowhunt. Sunday, the 72nd day of Deer Season 1998: (11:21pm) I slept in this morning. I'm going to do a little scouting and will decide where to hunt afterward. (2:18pm) There's a lot of traffic in the Alex's Road area. I couldn't get to the Point or the Back 200, the road is too muddy at the first gate. I'm off to Alex's Road. (6:10pm) It is really foggy. Visibility is awful. When I parked my truck and got out I saw a white flag running into the woods. Couldn't tell if it was a buck or a doe. I'd been on the stand about an hour and heard a deer cross the road. But it winded me and snorted real loud. Monday, the 73rd day of Deer Season 1998: (5:11am) It's 51 degrees and either real dark or foggy. The dew is dripping off the eves of my house. This morning Jeff Gossett (former Oakland Raider Punter) is hunting the tripod at the top of the Rock Ledge. Rick Philippi and I are going to the Back 200. Rick's son Ricky is hunting Rick's Hot Stand, 100 yards in the woods behind my Alex's Road stand. (10:58am) Jeff had a doe walk behind him and it spooked when he tried to get a shot. Rick saw one doe in the brush. Ricky zipped. So did I. (1:35pm) We saw several deer on my place when we came in from lunch so Ricky is hunting at my 8-Degree stand, which is where the deer were. Jeff had to return home and attend a banquet this evening and he will be back when it is over so he will hunt tomorrow. I'm going to hunt either the Pocket or Point. (6:35pm) The North wind got up this afternoon and the temperature dropped from 50 to 28 degrees. Rick saw 3 groups of wild turkeys and harvested another big gobbler. (Rick Philippi is the turkey bowhunting dude!) Ricky had 2 does within 10 yards but there were too many limbs in the way for a safe shot. At the Point I had 7 longbeards cruise by, all of them with 10-12 inch beards. As they passed in single file I picked out a butterball, put my pin on his vitals and missed the darn thing. Shortly after 3 hens followed their route. I saw 4 deer in the distance. Tuesday, the 74rd day of Deer Season 1998: (5:11am) 22-degrees, cold morning compared to the rest of the season, very windy too, think I'll hunt the inside of my eyelids. (9:21am) The wind is still going strong but the temp is all the way up t o 24. Rick Philippi saw 13 gobblers from his River stand. Jeff Gossett (former Oakland Raider Punter) hunted the Pig stand and no deer showed. (3:31pm) The weather reports the wind chill as below zero and I believe it. Jeff is hunting my Rock Ledge stand. Rick is at his River stand looking for one more gobbler. Ricky is at the Point. I am headed for Alex's Road. (7:23pm) The deer moved tonight. I saw 14 does in one group. Rick saw a flock of turkeys and 3 bucks. Ricky had 2 does moving into his shooting lane when a 6-pointer rushed in and chased them around. Jeff saw 4 does but they were out of range. I always draw my bow when I get in a stand. Tonight one one the wheels made a loud groaning sound. When I got in I lubricated the wheels and now it draws silently again. Rick, Jeff and Ricky left for home. Wednesday, the 75th day of Deer Season 1998: (5:11am) It's very cold and would be a good day to sleep in and I'm a little sleepy too, but, heck, I'm still going out to the Rolled Wire stand. (10:01am) At first good light a young owl came from nowhere and latched onto something on the ground, I'm talking 5 yards away. There was a very brief struggle. The owl was small, only about 10-inches long. About 1/3 of it was its very distinctive head, which jerked back and forth every few seconds, watching the area. It did that for several minutes and then flew off with it's prey, a big rat. A little after 9:00 it started sleeting and now the ground is covered with ice. No deer moved where I was. (2:53pm) I just finished putting up a stand by the 8-Degree Crossing. This afternoon I'm hunting the Back 200. (6:21pm) More ice from the sky. I hunted a cross trail downhill from the Windmill. Two year-and-a-half bucks come by right off (they are not on our game management menu). As the afternoon progressed I saw 3 does, 2 does and 5 does--all a little to far away, but I was glad to see them. The hunting has been slow lately. But, the deer are moving again. Life is cold, but good. Thursday, the 75th day of Deer Season 1998: (5:31am) It's colder than a well diggers ears. The entire county is one big sheet of ice. Great morning for deerhunting! Color me at the new 8-Degree stand. (9:03am) Cold and windy was the word. I spooked one deer walking to the stand in the dark. Half an hour later I spotted a big doe approaching through the trees. I stood up quietly so I would have more shooting options. One by one, over the next several minutes, I saw 4 more appear, strung out though the trees. Still inside the treeline the big doe stopped, looking in my direction. It circled to my right (to check the wind). Then I noticed that the wind had blown my seat cushion loose and it was flapping wildly on the end of the cord I tie it to the stand with. Slowly I got ahold of it and stuffed it behind me. The big doe circled downwind, waited, and silently backed away. The rest followed. In a few minutes I got down and put all my clothes in the washing machine (they are churning away right now). (2:33pm) JimboTX arrived a while ago. On the way in to and from town we saw 11 does and 4 bucks, one of which is fits the game management profile. He is hunting the Point and I am hunting the Back 200. (6:50pm) We saw several deer on the way out. JimboTX saw three groups of wild turkeys, but no shots and no deer. I had a big 10-point bomber in my area for several minutes but the only shot I could have taken was 35+ yards. Later a doe came by and I didn't get a shot at it either, but that's ok because I didn't want to disrupt the area. I looked around the area and tomorrow morning I will hunt the same spot and move in a new stand afterward that will put me where the buck was. (9:30pm) We just finished getting my tripod on the Rock Ledge and loading in in my truck. I have a better place for it after tomorrow mornings hunt. Friday, the 76th day of Deer Season 1998: (5:01am) I'm up and good to go. After some oatmeal and pop tarts, coffee and a scent killing shower I'm off to the Back 200. JimboTX will hunt the Pocket. If the deer are as active today as yesterday it should be rockin'. (Morning hunt) JimboTX saw one doe at the Pocket. As I watched a 6-point mark trees and put scent on the ground a Spike approached walked up to him and pitched in. Meanwhile a doe walked in front of me an suddenly spotted the two bucks. She was very nervous about them. Three more does were coming up from the West. The two bucks spotted them and came right over but they paid them no attention. Then the first doe got in a kicking match with one of the new does. In a little while they all left. We saw several more deer as we drove in. (Scouting) I put up a tripod where I'll have a better view of the approach path the bucks are using. (Afternoon hunt) JimboTX zipped at the Pocket. At the Back 200 I was visited by a doe. Then a button buck. Then I saw antlers in the thick cedars next to where I saw the bomber yesterday. I squinched down to see them better, they were real wide! I lost track of it for a minute and couldn't tell if it would come out to my left or my right. It came out on my right, but only a few yards away. It spotted my 8-foot tripod and walked almost up to it, the buck was just too close to draw. Then it looked right at me. This was a different buck than the one yesterday. It had even longer tines and had a sleeker, younger body, probably 3 1/2, with a heck of a hat rack. The buck only looked at me a couple of seconds, so it never made me out, and then it went on about it's business, a couple of steps put it back in the thick cedars and it walked away. A minute later I saw a buck's antlers in the cedars, in the general direction of where today's bomber exited. I drew. Out walked a big, long tined 6-point. Rats! The sixer poked around and eventually I had to let down, which unfortunately spooked the buck. So, we have two bombers in the Back 200. And I have to move my tripod in the morning. The fat lady ain't sung yet. Saturday, the 77th day of Deer Season 1998: (5:01am) JimboTX is headed for the Rock Ledge. I'm back at the Back 200. Robbie came in last night and is hunting the Point. (Morning hunt) I saw 2 does, a spike, a forky and 5 does. Plus an 8-point with fine antlers--not a bomber but an excellent buck. All were very close range. I moved the tripod to a better position. I'm going back right now in for an afternoon sit. When either of the two bombers shows I believe that I am where I need to be to take them to the dance. Robbie saw 12 does. JimboTX saw 4 does. No shots for any of us. (Afternoon hunt) Hmmmmm. No deer this afternoon at the Back 200. JimboTX saw 1 doe at the Point. Robbie got covered up with cows (one of the perils of hunting on a cattle ranch). Sunday, the 78th day of Deer Season 1998: (Morning hunt) The deer didn't move this morning. (Afternoon hunt) JimboTX went home. I returned to the Back 200. Robbie hunted the Point and when 2 bus does came by he shot one. We followed the road map trail and he put his tag on another doe. Monday, the 79th day of Deer Season 1998: (Morning) I have work to do and couldn't hunt this morning. But this afternoon I'll be in the woods. (Afternoon hunt) All together I saw about 3 dozen Wild Turkeys this afternoon. The first group came down a trail by my stand in the Back 200. There were 8 hens and 5 gobblers. The hardest part of turkey hunting with a bow is drawing your bow. Turkeys are very wary of any movement from a tree and 13 wild turkeys is a lot of eyes, but I drew slow enough that this group didn't see it. I picked out a Gobbler and put my pin on its boiler room, aimed carefully, and released. The shot went right on the money. Not too long after a much larger group came through the area, but further away. Later on I heard lots of turkeys flying up to roost. No deer moved, but today that was ok. Tuesday, the 80th day of Deer Season 1998: (Morning) Nice morning, chilly but not cold. Color me on the Double Bomber stand in the Back 200. Donald Duck is down and is hunting the Canyon. John Askew and his son Bryant are here also. No one saw any deer this morning. (Afternoon hunt) At the Back 200 a doe and her yearling doe came by. Also two large flocks of wild turkeys moved through. They were all hens. The second group had a bearded hen, which is legal here during the Fall season. Don, John and Bryant didn't have any action. Wednesday, the 81st day of Deer Season 1998: (5:32am) The Duck is hunting the Dry Up Pond. I am giving the Back 200 a rest this morning and will hunt the Point. (9:40am) I saw a buck in the more open area across from the Point, he was smelling the ground and running around. The Duck saw 2 different 6-points and 7 does. He did some scouting and saw 9 gobblers. (Afternoon hunt) I started feeling flu like but hunted the Point anyway. I saw a big flock of wild turkeys in the distance and two young fawns. The Duck saw several does. Thursday, the 82nd day of Deer Season 1998: This morning I did not feel worth a hoot and made a Doctors appointment. He gave me some flu stuff and said to take it easy. So, I figure hunting is taking it easy, I went to the Back 200. As I passed the Point about 20 wild turkeys grouped up and watched me pass. I didn't see any deer. Friday, the 83rd day of Deer Season 1998: It's not as cold as the weatherman said it would be this morning. My buddy Donna is down to hunt and she says she hates to see the season come to an end. Robbie says Donna you're right. We're heading out to hunt. (Morning hunt) No deer during the hunt but saw several driving back to the house. It is very foggy, I guess they are moving mid day. (2:03pm) We are going out for a long sit this afternoon. I'll drop Robbie at the Point stand and I'm returning to the Back 200 stand. Activity has been minimal recently but I saw a fresh scrape and there. The 2nd rut is on. (7:00pm) At the Point, Robbie had a young doe and a tending 8-point buck in the area. After they left a 4-point appeared and followed their scent trail. John and his daughter Emily (age 9) saw a doe at the Pocket. No deer at the Back 200 but I saw the gray fox sneak up on a clump of grass and pounce twice. Field mice ran everywhere but the fox caught two and turned them into dinner. Saturday, the 84rd day of Deer Season 1998: (5:06am) I'm hanging with the Back 200. If I don't get some action this morning I am going to switch stand sites. Robbie is returning to the Point. The weather is supposed to drop to 21 degrees today. That means high wind, and that howling sound outside says the wind is here. (2:45pm) High wind is right. Two does is all I saw. When I came in to warm up I could see a Buck running a doe around in my back yard, close to the 8-degree stand. I'm slipping back there. Robbie is still at the Point, but hadn't seen anything when I checked. John and Emily will hunt the CS pasture. (6:45pm) I saw 13 does in groups of 3, 4, 1, 2, 1, & 2. The doe that was being chased came up and hung out for 30 minutes, it's one of this years fawns that is just coming in. John & Emily didn't see any deer. Robbie zipped also, although he saw a large hawk swoop in and grab a squirrel and introduce it to nature's food chain. But, without a doubt, everybody took on a lot of wind. Sunday, the 85th and Last Day of Deer Season 1998: (5:06am) The 1998 season is is down to one last day. It is 26 degrees, there is no wind and the full moon makes it look like early morning. I'm hunting the Rolled Wire area. Robbie is at the Horse Pasture stand. John & Emily are hunting Alex's Road. (9:26am) Daylight came and brought in a few gusts of wind but it was pretty nice. In the North West I heard the loud roar of the wind. The treetops in the distance started shaking and the wind line moved toward me. Leaves filled the air, from the ground and from the trees. Whooomm! It got windy, big time. I felt like I was sitting in a freezer. At 9:00 I got down and came in to warm up. Robbie just got here. He didn't see any deer either. John & Emily headed home. (1:56pm) This will be the last hunt of the season. Robbie is hunting the Rolled Wire stand and I am going to the Point. (8:26pm) It was a quiet but cold afternoon. I didn't see any deer but got snorted on the way to my truck. Robbie saw a doe and two large fawns. And that winds up our 1998 Texas deer season. And that winds up our 1998 Texas deer season. .
