I had a excellent season, took my 11 yr old granddaughter out for her first hunt on youth weekend here in NH and after only sitting for a bit over a hour in our little ground blind a nice 4 pt walked by at 65 yds and she took it with 1 shot from a 243..I was 1 proud PaPa. Headed down to SC for my annual week hunt and took a very nice 13 pt. Back to NH and sat in my stand for quite a few hours with very little results until 1 afternoon a nice 8pt showed himself and got lucky, I shot and my bullet hit a branch that I didnt see in the scope (too close to me). I was bummed to say the least but was determined to sit until he came back. 1 week later at almost the same time of day he showed again and this time I didnt miss. 1 week later I took a doe with my anterless deer tag in the coastal zone..All in All, my best deer hunting year ever!!!
