.....on Wednesday ended about 30 seconds after it started!lol
Ron and I invited Taylor and Jake down for an evening for our deer camp festivities and a morning hunt the following day mid week. After BSing just before 1 am Wed morning we decided we needed to get some sleep so I could get them set up for a hunt around first light. We got up around 6:30 and got a bite to eat then I dropped them off at two separate TS sets about a half mile apart. I dropped Tay off first then Jake. I put Jake in a set that had great vantage points and plenty of cover but the deer just weren't moving Wed. morning in that spot. After getting both guys dropped off I drove the 5-6 mile loop that encloses our 78 acres. Ron and his daughter Erin were in a ground blind in between the guys but down on the lower shelf in the middle of the thicket. Coincidentally, they didn't see much movement either throughout most of the morning but less than 5 minutes after dropping Jake off I get back after making the loop drive my phone rings and its Ron saying he heard one of our guests shoot. After hearing Ron's discription of the shots direction I knew it was T. I drive on by his set and go to our camp to get the quad ready just in case and answer Mother Nature.lol
It wasn't 5 minutes I see T walking into camp with a big grin shaking his head! He said, that was the shortest hunt he'd ever had, saying it prolly didn't take 30 seconds. Lol
We went down into the hollar on the quad and retrieved his deer, a nice young bb. Afterwards him and I did some small two man pushes to the other two hunters only jumping a doe and her two young on our entire property. They just weren't there this particular day but we all had a great time.
Thanks to Taylor and Jake for taking the time out of their busy schedules to pay us a visit.
Here is Taylor and his deer.
