This will be short and sweet, one because dinner is almost ready and two because I don't have much to talk about! This year has been a complete bust. All of my big deer have vanished, no more trail cam pictures, no more sightings, no more sign. The lease has gone dry, the farm has gone dry and the urban spot has gone BONE dry! I was, finally able to harvest 2 does on December 2nd to add some much needed fresh meat to the freeze. They came in together, even though I didn't realize that until it was all said and done. Good thing I knew I had two tags in my pocket. I shot the first doe at about 70 yards when she spooked from a coyote that had been lazily napping all afternoon on the end of a sunny ridge. (No shot opportunity or he would have not been a factor at this point!) She dropped in her tracks and fell directly behind two huge oak trees, all I saw was a doe run from behind those trees and back across the creek, not knowing if I had missed or it was a second one, I knew I had 2 antler-less tags and figured if it's still running I'm gonna keep shooting. She also fell in tracks at about 50 yards, but in plain sight. When I got down to inspect my fresh venison, I figured I should at least go see if my first shot had missed or not and to my amazement, I hadn't! Got em both!!! Which just meant for a long night of getting two deer out the woods. To save the extensive details, I'll just say, an hour and a half later, one near torn rotator cuff from a bad off-roading experience through a field in the dark I had never driven through and a wash out at least 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide in an '86 club car golf cart with NO suspension, a near back flip off the loading ramps and a slight mishap that involved running over one of the deer's heads with the golf cart after trying to save my life... We managed to, in one piece, thankfully, deliver them to the butcher shop where I will be anxiously awaiting my new steaks, summer sausage and some mouth watering beef jerky!!! This clip has nothing to do with any of this story, just a trailer I made to see how it would turn out and to see how y'all thought it looked. Planning on hopefully having some new cool footage to add to the year end video. Enjoy and let me know what you think! Thanks again,
