Which in turn forced me to hunt one of one of my other stands .
The morning started with me hearing a deer breaking through the ice between me and OLD BUCK .
The deer ended up coming my way .
It did not present the best of shots but beggers can`t be choosers .
It left a VERY sparse blood trail but we kept going .
We eventually found it .

I had to have a Crazyfarmer picture done.

Here is a picture for the contest with a tag.

A picture of me dragging its arse out .

Finally a picture of me and dad with the deer that was big enough to ride home in the back of my JEEP .

Not a bad way to finish 2009 . A couple of good hunts with friends and family for turkeys and deer .
