Pa Rifle Season Short and Sweet!

Waiting for the sun to appear!

Pa. Rifle Season

With Matt and Gaven!

Waiting for the deer to show up!

 Matt,Gaven and I waiting for first light to get the day started. We sat in a rock cut at the edge of a nice draw full of oaks!







We sat for about a hour before the sun started to rise and light the woods to start our 2012 deer season



As the sun came up the woods came to life. we saw 4 deer at first light but were not able to get any clear shots for Gavin to fill his tag.






Once the sun came up the wind picked up as well and was blowing right in our faces making it a nice and cold morning for us. So we made do and made a nice little camp fire!


Was Cold till we warmed up our little hunting spot!






 It really got cold shortly after the sun came up and the wind picked up so we built a small camp fire to warm up. those rocks really held the heat in and warmed us all up nice and toasty!









Our goal was to get Gaven a deer that day but sadly nothing would stop for him to get a clean clear shot! he had more opportunity to see deer that day then i had in my first 4 years of hunting. We saw a total of 14 deer that day



              
Deer number 1 down!



After seeing over a dozen deer I was able to connect with this one. What a day it was!










We were all ready to head to the truck when this deer showed it self. One clean shot and we had two deer down. Gaven unfortunately was not able to fill a tag but I believe he has caught the hunting bug!



Two deer down. My season is done!



      Shortly after getting the first deer field dressed and ready to head for the truck a second deer showed is self in range. I was able to put yet another good shot on a second deer taging me out for the year!
