Probly the last deer of 2021 for me but a first for me and my 2 older boys. Went to the club this evening and got in just as the rain was stopping. Sat down at 4:35. Oldest boy was coughing and I wasn't expecting much. 5:15 a yearling and 2 does came out. One of the does had a double white throat patch and looked like a bag of bones with a horse head. Boys have been begging me to shoot a deer behind the house but I really wanted to shoot one at the club. As I got the rifle ready, big boy kept coughing, middle boy kept popping up and down like a jack in the box and the wind was swirling. I could tell the gig was about to be up. I shot and the deer was quartering to me a little more than I thought. Found a piece of her liver in the food plot but no blood. Walked in the woods a little ways trying to cut blood. Steeped in a stump hole up to my thigh and told the boys we were gonna call for help. Last thing I wanted to do was break my leg 2 miles deep with no signal alone in the dark with my 7 and 5 year old. Drove back up the the road and called my buddy with a dog. Deer only made it 100yds but we would have never found her. Boys had a great time and now want a dog that finds deer. First kill with my boys hopefully many more to come.
