"Whitetail Hollow" - 90 Acres NE Oklahoma.

First evening hunt of the year. I am in the tree I had the close encounter with laid back 9 when I was trying to kill the pig back in July...

Here is a picture from that evening in July...

According to the weather this will be the last decent wind for this stand until Friday... NW wind but very hot. Using a thermacell for the first time ever!

I know your in the last few precious minutes of daylight (when shrubs that you've spent all afternoon looking at suddenly look like deer) but I thought I would let you know that I trapped one of our beloved armadillos... and then it proceeded to tear the crap out of my trap! He's still alive and well:(

Dang!!!
 
Well...don't know how to say this...

I saw 8 deer this evening...laid back 9 was number 8. It was getting pretty dim in the timber when I took my shot and I couldn't pick out the mystical flight of the arrow but it blew straight though him...somewhere... He bucked like a mule and ran right through the brush headlong. He slowed at the edge of the creek bottom before he went down into the bottom. I could hear him stumbling and crashing but he for a short distance. I listened and heard him move a little further but he sounded badly hurt. It got dark quickly.

I got down and found my arrow that was bloody but not with lung blood. More just a muscle type blood that had only stained the arrow and not completely covered it. No blood immediately but I did find it within 10 yards. Poor trail mostly "wiped" type blood on white oak seedling leaves. A few drops of really dark blood. I followed the trail perhaps 25 yards and made the decision to back out till morning. It is 66 now and supposed to be low 50's by morning.

I am doing that roller coaster of emotions thing right now...
