Deer Hunting...

[Phil Lilley]

My nefew Ryan killed his first deer Friday- a button. Then he killed another button- his shot was 315 yards. Pretty neat.

We came home with 2 does and 2 buttons. I passed on a very nice 8 which I should have dropped... hindsight. I'm not used to seeing bucks that big. The farm I hunt on frown on killing small 8's and I misjudged this one. I compared nicely with the racks on this living room walls. I was after meat- not a rack though.

Had a great time. Hunted up close to Browning, MO.

Well you guys driving all over getting out in the cold and all that. We do not do that here at LOZ Here the deer hunt us. Sometimes I think we are the minority. This year they have pretty nice racks. We have a ten pointer around here and at least one more 8. Also have a pair of albino Does about 2 yrs old. I have seen them twice. I think they are being protected and fed there. But they are not confined. Seems like other deer do not like to associate with them i seen a couple does charge them.

Very slow for us. I seen does and fawns almost every time out but the bucks never showed up. The week before rifle season was full of chasing though. Got three does with the bow and one with the rifle so freezer is full of delicious venison but I am still hoping to tag a nice buck before January 15. I put the rifle away after tonight's hunt so I will have to get it done with the bow or smoke pole.
