Sat in ground blind in neighbors front hay field. Saw four total deer. Two fawns, adult doe, and a year and a half old fork buck. The buck and one of the small fawns were within bow range of the blind I was in. Nice to see some deer moving before dusk.

Early doe rifle weekend. Had to wear orange this weekend even hunting with bow. Sat in an abandoned farm stead of an employee. Had my bow, as I didn't have rifle license for her zone. Did not see anything during this morning hunt.
Spent the rest of day and evening with my wife celebrating our anniversary.

Decided not to go out on this morning. Last day of early doe rifle, and intended on hunting the a.m. on my property or the neighbors, but slept in 'til 7 a.m.
Standing in front of kitchen window, taking sip of coffee, I see one of the fawns that's been hanging around. This fawn has been alone for the better part of the last month. Still have the early doe tag, so I grabbed the rifle and some orange and intercepted her going towards my small clover field. Had her in the freezer by 10 a.m. We ate some of the tenderloin for supper!!!
Kurt ended up bagging a huge bear later in the morning. Helped drag the 500 lb bruin out with three other men. Luckily Kurt decided on bringing it in to a butcher, so we averted the tasks involved in skinning a good cape and preserving the meat.
