Went out tonight to take a look at the deer blind. I wanted to get out of the house for a while and weather was nice so thought I"d go see if I could shoot some deer with the digital camera instead of the gun for a change.
I watched a black cat make it's way across the field and into the tall grass for about a half hour and then had a couple of small deer sneak out of the swamp with Momma close behind. Then a couple more decent doe's and then a real nice maybe 4-5 year old doe. The little ones got within 20 yards of me at one point. Right at dusk there were a couple more deer right on the edge of the swamp but it was to dark to see horns or not. All I could see were a couple large shaddows and a flicker of a white tail once in a while.
The batteries died on the digital camera... I forgot to check them before heading out, so I was only able to take a couple of pictures. The deer put on a pretty good show for me. Far better than anything that could have been on tv by far. I was able to fix up the blind a bit and obviously the deer are still using the same old runs near it. So all in all it was a pretty good night.
