Kid Bags Buck

I was cooking dinner last night when a neighbor called to ask if their granddaughter could trail a deer she arrowed on to our property just before dark.

Of course.

I went out with headlamp, flashlights and toilet paper and found them in the gathering darkness. Deer was hit and the arrow recovered after almost a quarter mile of tracking and a dwindling blood trail. Typical.

The kid and her mom didn’t find the buck but the search resumed this morning. 

It's raining pretty steadily so I wasn't holding out much hope for locating a blood trail.

Nevertheless, she found her deer.

She'll be late for school today but one happy kid.
