Drought over

Well it took longer this year than in any years in the past for me to get my first deer of the season. On Friday, Nov. 21, I was hunting a acorn draw in my Summit, and thee doe came in to feed. After a while of watching and hoping a buck would come in, I decided to take one, I made an excellent 13 yard shot on a decent doe. Looked and the other two were still on the hill side, so when another shot presented itself I took a second one. Two doe down. Saturday morning was also good. Except it was cold, I mean real cold for South Carolina, we woke up in the tent to a temperature of 23 degrees. I went to my favorite stand and Chad, a friend of mine went to another, it was a magical morning. He saw 20 deer that morning, 19 doe and one nice 8 pointer that he tried to shoot, and had a misfire from his gun. Funny thing was the bullet had a dent in the primer, but ti did not fire. I saw 7 deer, 6 doe and a spike. That afternoon, Chad returned to his stand and saw two doe and two bucks, he shot and grazed another 8, we looked for a while in the dark and found little sign, two small specks of blood. We waited until the next morning to take up the trail, found nothing else, and no deer. Hopefully, he just nicked the deer and it will live. All in all it was a great weekend of hunting. Finally the drought is over and we are seeing some activity.
