Congratulations @BobbyV Hopefully, you were able to get your mind off everything and enjoy some time in the woods. I’m sure that your mom was looking over you.

That sucks and I’m sorry. Hunting was pretty good medicine when my dad died. Congrats on your success @BobbyV

Damn Bobby, very sorry to hear. Just lost Dad three weeks ago, I know those long hours in the stand give plenty of time to think about them. May she rest in peace.

Brother in law and I cleaned up pretty good this weekend. He shot 3, a good size buck and two big doe. I shot 4, 3 doe and a decent buck. Got the big doe and buck together.

Shot this lil doe with a 308

Got the buck and big doe at 224 and 212 with my 6x47 Lapua and the other doe I didn’t get a picture with at 50 yards

With mom passing on Friday I stayed with dad, my brothers and our families yesterday. We had scheduled our Thanksgiving earlier for mom but ultimately didn't work out.

I decided to get out of the house and chance seeing something this evening. I bumped four deer on the way to the shooting house.

I rattled this guy in about 4 or so.

I wasn't sure how much more hunting I'd feel like doing so after this 7 point walked in front of me twice I decided to pull the trigger. The last time was a little before 5. He's not the biggest by any means but I took the shot anyway.

This was the first trip to the woods where I didn't see at least one doe. Saw four or five bucks cruising for love.

With all of the junk that life has thrown at the family since mom entered hospice care back in August and with the funeral being Tuesday, I think I'll enjoy this hunt for a while and then might get back out after gun season settles down.

Sure sorry to hear about your mom, it’s a tough time for sure.
