Our hunting over the Christmas break came to an end December 30th. We saw some bucks that were legal to shoot but we decided not to shoot them because of the management plan being implemented on the property we were hunting. Plus, we have higher expectations on what type of bucks we want to shoot.
My Dad and I killed some more management does for the new plan. Once again, I learned how hard it is to film yourself while shooting a deer. You can witness this in the video below of a doe I shot. It was so thick in this hardwood bottom that I actually hit a few tree limbs in my first shot and she made the mistake of coming back across and giving me a second shot. I also included me with my Dad cleaning his doe. A buddy of ours gave us a hunting knife and we were happy to try it out. Once again, it was too dark to get any video of my Dad’s doe and all we have is us processing her.
I am excited about next year on this piece of property in Mississippi. I know of 5 good bucks that are going to make it and they will be a lot bigger next year.
