After having a group of idiot fast shooters ruin my opening weekend by shooting at every deer they saw and not doing too well at it. (12 shots by 8am and only one dead deer) Plus every time they shot they would wander through the woods in every direction so the only 9 deer I saw were going by me like there butt was on fire!!
So...I take a buddy up on his offer to hunt his place up near LaPorte. What a rush!! I saw over 70 deer on Saturday morning!!! One herd came by at about 120 yards and there were 48 deer in it. (thanx to a couple of errant beagles) The other two were 11 and 14 in count. This is in addition to the 16 I had seen while sitting on a fencerow all morning.
I ended up with 2 does, an accidental button buck (looked larger and like a doe standing by itself at 120 yards thru a pistol scope...LOL) and a nice sized 6 pointer. Ended up being the first good season I have had in the past few years. Last year was spent in the hospital and the previous year wasn't a good one since I lost my one really good place to hunt.
Our freezer is going to be filled once again.

That was an awesome weekend. Glad you had a great hunt.
That's a lot of meat!
