She worked until 2 today and was quite tired. I kept pestering her telling her she needs to go. I told her I just had a feeling. Well she finally showed up about 3 pm and we got ready and headed out. We sat in a new double I hung last Saturday in the Hacker Park spot. Its always been pretty good. We saw several squirrels and a opposum early on. With a half hour left she mocked me and said "I better get gun ready, cause this last half hour will be good!" I always tell her that to keep her interested and I believe that to be true. Not five minutes later she claims she saw some white. I thought okay probably just a leaf. Then she perked up and said that it was a deer. After checking through my binos, I told her to get ready that it was a buck. She stands and gets ready. He looked like he would cut up the hill about a hundred yards away so I bleated and he turned and came down the creek about 50 yards away. After the first shot he limped to within 20 yards and second did him in! Her first deer was on my 23rd birthday. I was so happy for her. She had a good "catch". Mine might be better!

I agree salt. I've killed some nice bucks and get worked up to the max. Tonight as he approached she turned around and calmly said, "you need to slow your breathing!" Haha. A quote I'll never forget!
