    Deer Hunting


    Reports from around the state say the deer kill is down about 50% over last year. The DNR blames the weather (snow,sleet, freezing rain where we hunted) and standing corn in the farm country. We did OK, about the same as last year. I shot a buck and two does. We had an interesting ride down our logging road trail out of the bluff country one night as it had been raining and freezing all afternoon so we more slid downhill then drive. Here's a picture of the buck I let go for another year so he can grow up.
