Update from today. Hunter hunted the bucks only season on the wma and see squdouche. I took Chandos and Bo on the property. Most of the deer crossed what we called hunters stand. I was in middle and my guest was in djs. So around 7ish, Chandos said we got a big doe fixing to step out, I quickly texted shoot that bitch. Couple minutes go by and whack-boom! I texted I heard the hit and you got her. He said she looked like she was hurt but rolled out.
20 minutes pass and Chandos texted me that he missed. I said no way I heard the hit. He said he found I tiny little speck of blood, nothing else. I said we can look when we get down. Of course Bo was crushed and dad said he welled up in tears. I arrive at 9:30 and the boy was almost in tears when he looked at me. I told him it’s all good, we all miss and let’s go check to make sure. We walked in the fairly open woods w briar thickets here and there. Walked back 150 yards w zero anything found. I walked back 20 yards over and get around the other side of the thicket and I could see the ass of his doe. I told dos, right here and we told Bo to look good in the thick stuff because that’s where they normally go. They see her and back to the highs we went. From highs to lows back to highs. Anyway took some pics and the boy learned some new hunting lessons. He puddin popped her but she only went 70.

Doe weighed 130#. It was a great few days hunting and I didn’t kill.
Currently I’m home going to a friends house to celebrate the new year and our anniversary of 32 yrs married. 41 together. Happy new years, it was a great 2025.
Congrats to the young man. Congrats to the whole family. I know you all hunt together. A buck tagged for one is a win for all.
