Old Mossy Horns
I saw that Wildlifer shot one yesterday with 3 minutes left in the season. I was thinking about starting this thread yesterday while freezing my butt off in my climber. I was hoping to post up a last day kill. That didn't happen so December 31 is still my latest in season kill.
I almost got to post about a kill yesterday though. Sunset was 5:13pm and two doe were slowing walking towards the tree I was up in. I was hunting with my crossbow. They got to about 50 yards but I wanted them a little closer. Also I didn't have a good shot at that range. I was sitting about 100 yards from the farm owner's house. At 5:20, I had been watching them for about 15 minutes at that point. I figured I had another 10-15 minutes to waste to wait for a good shot. It was then that one of the family member pull up to the garage at the house. The does spooked and walked off a further distance away but stayed in the area. Then the farm owner came out of the house and yelled if the people who pulled up needed help carrying things. That ended my 2017 season. Too bad I can't carry a rifle on that property.
