Hunting season

At about 7:15 Saturday morning, while I warmed a tree stand with my heavily-padded (by multiple layers of clothing, that is) butt, a small whitetail buck came trotting out of the woods, following a deer trail that led it very, very close to my stand.

Got him. My family eats this year!

I'll be going out again next weekend, and quite possibly during the antlerless-only hunt in December. Hey, last year I didn't bag a deer until the very last day, and my family didn't have to buy hamburger again until April.
