I took my son out this afternoon to shoot a deer for the landowner. He requests one or two for himself every year. It's part of our agreement that allows us to hunt his property. While walking into our ground blind, we saw three does out in the field. Unfortunately, we spooked them but, I'd figured since it was early, that they would be back out. Within 10 minutes after we got into the blind, we had one large deer come out into the field about 50 yards away. I glassed it and it was a shed buck. He stayed out in front of us for about 40 minutes. He finally left. At about 4:30pm, we had another shed buck, a half rack buck, a big 4 pointer and several does come out. We watched them for awhile to see if there were anymore deer that would come out. They were out only for a short time because, the wind was blowing from us to them. About, 15 minutes before dark, 3 deer came out about 60 yards from us. My son took aim with my Tar-Hunt slug gun. He never shot at a deer with it before but, he practiced shooting it over last summer. He made a perfect shot right through both lungs. The deer never moved after that. It turns out that it was a big button buck. But, what was weird with it, was that it never had any bumps on its head. It had it's male parts but, no spots for antlers. This is my son's 6 deer this season. It was worth it sitting in the frigid weather today.
