The nephew joined me for the last weekend of our first regular firearms seasons today. I sat him on a ridge overlooking a steep, sweeping hillside of clean forest. I set out for my stand 200 yards further up the ridge line and just made it in the stand when I heard his shot. So I walked back to see what he got. He said the deer dropped and slid down the slope so he descended to see where it ended up….10 feet from the road. Which was a good thing because this sucker was one well-fed deer. We figured he dressed out at about 175.
