Gonna go out this afternoon. Sleep was a marvelous thing!!! Update on my update. I "need" another day for recovery. Decided to sharpen my hunting knifes, prepare my F\L equipment for an outing, and watch the outdoor Hockey classic.

Been out all day. Started at Raccoon State Park. Had a dang donkey with an attitude come in on me. Glad I ID my target. He almost got shot. Craziest thing to ever happen to me in woods! Presently at small game lands in Beaver County. Yet to see a deer today.

Well we saw 2 buck and 4 doe. She had the safety off and the finger on the trigger and the buck turned towards us so she didn't have a shot. In re-positioning he saw us and spooked. He was a 3 or 4 point.

I parked to the right of dam and climbed to top of hill overlooking lake. I get up there and notice the whole top of ridge is tore up and there's a huge pile of crap. I'm scratching my head, to big to be deer? To small to be horse. I hear a branch crack and look over to see what I thought was a deer. I clock and shoulder flinter and put my irons behind shoulder. Just waiting to see head to shoot. It turns and comes at me out of brush. It was pissed off to say the least. I lower rifle and got the heck out of there. I warned 2 other hunters about him as well. I'm so glad I didn't dump on him!

I hunted the last few hours in a spot where I saw probably 20 or so saturday evening.I repositioned to where most of those deer came through and wouldn't you know it,a nice buck walked right at the tree I was sitting next two three days earlier.He wasn't a monster but he was obviously legal.Unfortunately,he heard my hammer click and stood a few steps from where I could shoot.He then back tracked slowly and skirted the top of the ravine a little out of my effective range.Fifteen minutes later a lone walked walked right at me and I shot her in the neck at about 20 yards.

Watched a buck with a Y on the left, broken at the base on the right, chase around 4-5 antlerless deer yesterday for the last hour of hunting. Had parked at a different spot on this property and when I drove by where I normally park, there were 4-5 doe there. Maybe I'll sit on the tailgate there next time
