This has always been one of my best days for killing big bucks. I killed “The Ice Buck” on the 13th many years ago.
We spent most of the day on the road. Our goal was to arrive in Northeast Kansas in time to sit for a few hours in the evening. We will be hunting for a week with a couple of my friends who live there.
We got there in time to sit for a couple of hours. I saw 12 deer. Three or four of them were button bucks which is a good thing for next year. Dad went on the knob behind camp and saw three does and a small 4-pointer. I miss my mom and my dog Theo. I hope they’re keeping each other company. I saw a falling star tonight and wished that dad would kill a giant while we’re out here. We’ll see what happens.
I think my buddies Doug and Steve got a 10-pointer today back home. Since I’m updating this after returning I’m not sure if it was today or tomorrow, but it was one of these days. They killed him a little ways from where I got the pictures of Tank. I’m glad Doug got him. He’s having a great year in many ways. He went to the doctor recently and lost over a hundred pounds after his operation. Way to go Doug. I’m glad you got a good one.
