Last day Muzzy!

When: February 7, 2009
Where: Club - big feeder
Weather: beautiful...lower 40's and breezy
Time: 2:00 pm - 2:20pm

Yup, you read that correctly...it only took twenty minutes!! I got to the club around 1:30 and got dressed. I made it into my spot by 2. I got all set and by 2:20 a deer walked out of the thickets. I thought it was a doe as there was no horns or remnince of horns so I lined up and took the shot. He went down in a clump, let out one "bahhh" and died. I walked over to him and learned that he was the button that Greg was talking about. The nubs didn't even show themselves at all. I went to get the deer checked and then call Rich, the butcher. Rich didn't answer so I left a message. By night time when he didn't call back I decided that I had to butcher the deer myself. So, on Sunday I went and got a new knife and butchered it myself (after watching how to videos on youtube). I made out just fine...It was kind of fun.

So that's how my 2008 season ended...with a bang you might say!

Behind the tennis courts for one more time...

When: Feburary 6, 2009
Where: Duh, behind the tennis court
Time: 3:30-5:30

Not much to report here...just went out and didn't see anything. Some tracks but that was it. Around dark a fox ran by my stand.
