Deer in the field!

Game Warden's Stand
Bob and I were invited to go on a hog hunt Saturday afternoon while the young hunters were in the woods hunting. They have quite a few wild hogs at the Christmas Place Hunting Club and the herd needs to be thinned out. Rex and his daughter, Sarah, took us to his Dad's (The Chief) stand, called the Game Warden's Stand. They have seen a number of hogs off of this stand. We were excited to get a chance to do this, since we have never been on a hog hunt. As it turned out, around 5:00 we had a doe with two yearlings to walk out and about 10 minutes later another doe and a yearling. It was so nice to watch and enjoy. Bob brought his binoculars with him and we took turns watching the deer eat in their environment. It was getting pretty dark, but I went ahead and took pictures. (If you double click on the pictures you can actually see them). I'm surprised the flash did not spook the deer. We were grateful that we got the opportunity to go on a hog hunt and the bonus was five deer off of his Dad's stand in the great outdoors! This is a sweetthing!
I'm jealous.
