Slow Opener

So much for my hopes of seeing a lot of deer this opener. Out of our whole hunting party, which consists of eight guys, we seen a total of nine deer. I personally sat on my stand for over 14 hours and seen only one deer. Saturday afternoon when I went in for lunch I was talking with my cousins and I decided that I was going to get a deer this weekend no matter what. So saturday night just as the sun was starting to set the noise of the squirrel behind me started to form into heavy foot steps. So I took out my binoculars and scanned the far ridge. There it was, the deer I had been waiting for. At that point I could care less if it was a monster buck or not. I just wanted some venisan. I seen the doe quartering away about 75 yards from me. So I pulled up my gun, put the crosshairs on the vital area, and pulled the trigger. She dropped instantly, and took the only bullet fired by our party all weekend.
