My 1st Deer!

I just had to share a picture of my first deer. My boys have been hunting for years, and I thought if you can't beat them, join them! I think this is my third year of hunting, but my first year of bow hunting. This is my first deer I've successfully shot and retrieved. It was quite rewarding after putting so much time and effort into this task! It was a 3 1/2 year old doe which I shot from a tree stand when she was about 10 yards away.

Country Air

I generally love living in the country. I especially love the fall when we can sleep with the windows open. I love the fresh, crisp, cool smells the blow in and the sounds of the nighttime critters. That is except one critter. Apparently, we had a skunk friend stroll through the property a few nights ago. I don't know what happened, but I was awaken from my sleep to my entire house filled with the aroma of skunk! It reeked! It was the kind of smell that was so bad, I was getting sick to my stomach and my eyes burned. I couldn't even go back to sleep. Morning came and I took a shower and went to work. I still smelled like skunk! That's one nighttime critter I could live without!
