An Afternoon Hunt


When I got out of my hunting club, Jasper Bottom, after 25 years, I had my deer stand moved to my granddaughter and her hubby's land south of town.  Have hunted it several times but have never seen a deer off of it.  My grandson, Carl, did see one but missed it a couple of years ago. Yesterday, was the same, no deer, but it was alright. I enjoy just sitting on my stand and watching nature go by. I only saw two squirrels playing and a lot of birds and that was it.  While on the stand I did hear a few shots from some lucky hunters.  Bob, my husband, hunted on the edge of a creek bed on the opposite side of the land in his one-man stand.  He did not see anything either but we both enjoyed a sunny afternoon hunt.  Afterwards, we visited with family and watched my great grandson, Ian, roasting marshmallows with his two playmates on the front porch.  He was having a blast!

Looking through my scope hoping for the squirrels to come down and play some more!  ;)
