So closes, yet another exciting chapter in the adventures of killing an elusive PA. White Tailed Deer..... with a pointy stick.  Which I didn't but hey, we'll git em next year..... stupid deer!

Two more weeks in the SRAs. Yippee. I got 3, 4 more deer hunts left in me yet. 

My hunting is done.  Saw 8 deer Thursday and 1 was  a buck.   Too far away for a shot at any of them.   Stupid deer.
Didn't hunt in the rain Friday or the cold Saturday.

Went out the last evening out my back door. Went about 60 yards down my side yard next to the garden area. Had 3 come walking and picking at 5:00 pm a big doe and two fawn does. They all where less than 20 yards,the little one stayed quite a while. I put the red dot on the big one, it never flipped the safety. You never know how many more you'll get on LIMITED TIME. I got enough deer this year. I've still been checking corn fields at dusk but no shooter bucks showed. One of my friends wants me to hunt his suburbia yard behind his house but I've had enough this year. On a side note we pile these maple leaves from our back yard tree,it's a peculiar looking leaf but it is a maple The deer love them. I pile them up about 4-5 ' tall in a 10-12' circle and they eat all by winters end. Would that be considered baiting.lol Never thought they would enjoy them but they go right to them every evening. Only trouble is the same 3 are the only ones coming this year.

Since where talking about what deer eat. A few years ago a giant white oak split and was covered with acorns. I was squirrel hunting in that woods two times in a week after that tree fell. Both times deer came and browsed off that half fallen tree. I decided to set up a ladder stand. Three days later I hunted that stand, 20 minutes into the hunt I arrowed a dandy 8pts. 

Nothing on the morning sit. Getting ready to head back out for the afternoon.

First day in the late season that I drew a blank. Nothing this evening either. 

caught one with their winter camo on I see.....or don't see
 

Talking about hunting, I got to thinking about other licenses and permits and in checking past mail, I see a letter from the County Sheriff and one from PennDot.    
 
Well this morning I head to the County Seat where I renewed my CDL and my CCW.   Thought for sure I was gonna see the County Sheriff comin through the door at the DMV when I walked inside to renew my CDL and asked the attendant where I could renew my CCW?   Stupid spellcheck!!!!
 
There should be a law against license and permits!!!!

No sense in "waiting to the last minute" to get things wound up.  As the old saying goes "the early bird gets the worm" except I'm thinking these two guys are "better late then never".   I know it's not  toooooooo early to start growing the next state record buck but I'll place my money, the antlers are still hanging on from last year.    I guess I must have not looked behind the right trees, stupid elusive Pennsylvania White Tailed Deer.

Can't quite say I'd bet my bottom dollar on it but I'm pretty sure, this is a different deer.  You be the judge.
