Christmas hunt

[R. Marshall]

It has been a tough deer season with plenty of acrons the deer have not had to move much and we have had a hard time just seeing deer off our permanent stands. I hunted the last 3 days of our rifle season with hopes of killing a deer with either my Edgar Hubner single shot Tell rifle or my HK940. I had a small group of does come in down wind at 60 yards in thick brush and just as they were fixing to leave I found a opening and the HK940 found its mark.

Congrats
Same problem in Kansas, abundance of acorns and other food. I saw several in the head lights on the way to the hunt area, but they seem to move very little during shooting hours. I would like to have taken a nice buck but settled for a young doe. Enjoy the back strap steaks.

I live down in the woods with the acorns as do my neighbors and we have been seeing very few here in south/central, Mo. There is an abundance of deer, two neighbors with significant acreage have game cameras out, but they're holing up tither than a tick on dogs back during the day.

I hunt alone which decreases the likelihood of seeing anything. I depend on those hunters who get out of the truck & walk a few hundred yards, to stir them very year I see fewer & fewer hunters, this year on opening day I only saw one other hunter.
