Today was the opening day of gun season for Whitetail Deer here in Ohio. This morning at a quarter 'til five my grandpa, a couple of his old buddies and myself headed south to Knox County. We've got a family friend down there with a farm that my grandpa has been hunting for years. For the past few years I've made the day trip with the guys to try my luck in the deer stand too. I've not done so well.....until today. The only deer that crossed any of our paths today ran right into our lap. After a few shots and a little help from my grandpa that doe was soon in the back of the truck and on her way to the butcher. Wednesday I go pick up the meat and add it to the other treasures in our deep freezer. Most of the rest of the week calls for rain, so today was likely the best day to be spending in a tree stand all day. The cost of a deer tag and meat processing ran me around a hundred bucks. For about $100 I got some meat in the ice box and some priceless memories with my grandpa. Not a bad deal.
