Gotta have a little fun...
















Well chemo went pretty well Tuesday, I can tell I am more tired this week I think it just keeps adding up. I've probably been trying to do too much and I get even more exhausted. Anyway, I decided to go get some fresh air Wednesday night and sit in the deer stand by myself. It was so nice and peaceful out there, it was a nice day too so it felt really good to get out. It's so relaxing to sit out there where the only noise is the squirrels crunching as they run in the leaves and of course the occasional shot in the distance. I took my camera of course because I love taking wildlife pictures. I got a couple of some does and fawns, and a few of the pretty sunset through the trees. Right before dark I saw a 4 by 4 buck come out of the trees and stop right out in the cornfield straight in front of me. I figured it was the only chance to shoot one to fill my permit for this year so I decided to shoot. He ran a long ways and went into the trees so I assumed I missed. My brother in law picked me up and we went to look for blood but we couldn't find any. Of course it was pitch dark by that time. Anyway, he went back this morning and he looked right where I told him it ran into the trees and he found it. I hit him right behind the front leg but he must have just ran like crazy. So I am including those pictures too, but since it was today I didn't have my hunting clothes on, so I look kind of silly in my regular clothes with a deer.





I'm so glad I got to go out, laying around in the house gets pretty old. Hope I don't upset anyone that doesn't like hunting with these pictures. Thanks, Heather.
