On Saturday, hubby and I went Christmas tree hunting - and we brought our bows with us ''just in case''. We got way up high and got a nice Christmas tree. Here it is pictured in the background propped up against our Suburban:
Our dog, Lucy (the St.Bernard/Mastiff in the forground) had such a good day playing with my nieces dog, Shadow (Chesepeake). They played together like they have always been best friends! I knew they would hit it off and was so glad they did :)
We hung around for a little while (in the rain!) and had a fire and let the dogs play.
We headed down about an hour or so before sunset and joked that we hoped a deer would jump out in front of us on the way home. We did spot a pair of does on the way down, and I was able to get one! My first deer harvest after 4 years hunting, whew!

My shirt says ''I don't wear bows, I just shoot them'' - and it is now officially my lucky shirt :)

Congratulations on your skills and prize
Congrats! Thought this was going to be a -we shot a nice tree story until I read the disclaimer!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! My first deer was also a doe, with my doe, after 4 years! How funny is that?! Enjoy your hard own accomplishment!!
ReplyDeleteI guess 4 is the magic number?! My husband hasn't got a deer in 5 years now, he was quite jealous (but VERY proud, I'm sure he was bragging to all his buddies at work, LOL)
