Made it to the Lease this weekend for the start of Regular Deer Season. Tag is still open, so duck hunting plans are on hold for now!

Regardless, was a great time outdoors. Saw several bucks but none that met the 13" inside spread minimum.

Was not all a bust for our Hunting Party.... a nice 10 Point Buck, a Turkey, and a hog were taken this weekend! Of note is the Buck had an old wound that had healed....

| Old Buck With An Old Wound! |
Looking at our Field Notes, "an 8 or 10 Point Buck was shot high and knocked down but immediately ran off. 10" later it returned chasing a Doe.... A search of the area found no blood trail, but deer hair was found that looked like it came from the back of the Deer.... Consider the Buck lost but not mortally wounded! " The entry was dated November 6, 2005. Game camera pictures over the years noted a Buck with a slightly scarred back frequenting our feeders!
This morning, 5 years and 1 day later, November 7, 2010, a new entry was made, "a 10 Point Buck showed on the south end of the Lease shortly after sunrise. A shot was taken at about 70 yards, the Buck dropped after running 15 yards. On closer inspection, it was the Buck with the slightly scarred back.... Consider the Buck finally found!"
