Dad Bags Second Deer of Season

Wednesday night, Dad headed out to Jim Jost's property just down Point Creek Road and hunted Jim's creekbed in hopes of seeing some deer. Shortly before dark, a doe walked in front of Dad's blind and Dad carefully lined his 2o gauge for the shot. Dad pulled the trigger and MISS! Shot again. MISS! Dad packed up his camo tent and headed out to make sure both shots had missed their target. On his way out, he jumped the doe again and it took off for the field. Dad tossed the tent off his back and dropped everything but the gun and a chase ensued. Dad climbed the gully along the creek and there was the deer, out in the field. Stopped. Dad lined up for a second opportunity and this time aimed true, felling the doe. The doe was then dropped off at the Jost house in thanks for the opportunity to hunt the property for deer, squirrels and rabbits. Not to mention the bottle or two of Apple Jack (Lauren's favorite). That should put a wrap on this year's gun deer season. Now on to rabbits and a pheasant hunt in two weeks.
