Finally.......

Well as most of you know I got a new bow this year and have been bow hunting almost every day - even more than Bill who has been farming on the weekends...
Ever since I started bow hunting I decided that I wanted my first kill to be a buck... but recently after sitting in trees for hours at a time... I decided maybe a doe would be ok too.
Tonight my dad was picking corn right underneath my stand so I decided to sit somewhere else... I made a ground blind in the corn field down a ways from where they were picking. As soon as I sat down I saw about 8 deer standing right underneath my stand which was about 500 yards away from where I was sitting... what an aweful feeling... but after a bit out comes a doe and walks right by me at about 20-25 yards. I couldn't take it anymore and had to shoot. So, I'm finally on the board - it wasn't a buck... but... now I'm ready for Big Moe....
Also, below is a picture of Bill's buck that he shot early on .. for some reason we don't have a picture of him with the deer, but we do have a picture of Missy with the deer... so here it is.
