My Deer!!!

I am still so excited! As most of you know I tagged out last Saturday evening.
Well anyways, I thought that y'all would like to hear my "huntin'" story :)

It was about 6:10pm when Papa tapped me on the arm. I froze looked and listened.
The deer came down in front of us but Papa couldn't get a good look at it (he was fogging up his binoculars!). She was about 30 yards (give or take) from us when he finally could see that it was a she... I put my cross-hairs* on her and pulled the trigger! She fell down right away and rolled over. *I was like "yes! I got her"  but then she was on her feet and up the hill.

When she was right in front of us (75 yards away, and up a hill). I got another shot at her, *I didn't think that I had got her*.  Papa got up and started scouting around up the hill where we had seen her last. He didn’t see anything!

---------------------------- about twenty min later.

We came around to Abigail and Joe as they were coming out of their trees.  And they started looking around as well. Uncle Eddie was also around there and he came over to help out.  

*I am going to skip the parts about scouting and all that*

Joe  saw some eyes looking at him and it was a grey fox setting on her. He yelled to the rest of us that he had found it and we made our way up the hill.  My first shot was near her spine. And my second went through the heart (I just know that all of you wanted to hear that part )!!!

Here is a picture : )

Papa and Lincoln just went to pick up a 6-pointer roadkill that our policeman friend called us about! They should be home soon....

Farewell,
