Buck Fever
I haven't been hunting in several years***, but this is almost enough to change my mind.
Kylan McCutcheon, 16, of Parthenon recently harvested one of the largest whitetail deer on record in the state of Arkansas, according to Arkansas Game & Fish wildlife biologist Mark Baron. McCutcheon shot the 25-point buck last Sunday morning in Newton County with a 30-06 rifle at a distance of 150 yards.
That should make it easier to roll out of bed before daylight, right Jennifer?
***I pretty much stopped hunting when we moved to Fayetteville. Since this is a college town, there's way too many 'hunters' in the woods who have no idea how to safely handle a gun.

I heard about that buck. And I'm incredibly jealous. But you noticed he shot it at like 10:15 right? heh

Most of the deer I've seen while hunting was right around that time. Or around 2 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the trick is to get set up before daylight, so you're still, quiet and blended into your surroundings before the deer start moving.
