As you all have heard the tail and legend of the curse of the white deer . I will tell once again 11years ago when I lived in my tree stand during October I shot a nice 8 pointer a great mortal shot was made and the massive blood trail led to a quick recovery . However upon examining the mighty 8 it was quite evident that it was 1/2 white or pibald . Thus would follow 11 long deerless years although I did not hunt as I did back than I still spent countless hours watching deerless woods . This year was no diffrent knowing I was truly cursed by the red Gods I still persisted although this year I vowed the curse would end . I thought I would be rewarded the last day of archery but Imissed areal boomer this was the first I drew back on any deer since 11 years ago . Soon the opening day of gun season was upon me aND OFF TO THE BIGWOODS IWENT TO RENDAVOUS WITH SOME OLD FRIENDS UP IN CENTRE COUNTY . Opening day dawned wet ,rainy with lots of thick thick fog not exactly good deer hunting weather Isat up in my tree till lunch time and I was wet cold and hungry . I walked up to my truck for some hot coffee and asandwitch Ichecked my phone and there was 5 messages marked urgent . This could mean only one thing trouble back home it was the girlfriend and she was histerical . Icalled her and she said we had leakege from the roof after I calmed her down I figured the felt paper must have blown off of the unfinished portion but the next day I DROVE HOME EARLY TO CHECK IT OUT THE WHITE DEER CURSE BADLUCK EXTENDS BEYOND THE CICLE OF HUNTING .wEDSDAY i FINISHED THE ROOF AND THAT LEFT SAT OPEN FOR ANOTHER CRACK AT ENDING THE CURSE . Sat morning found me up in my treestand trying to keep som,e warmth in my core it was the coldest day yet this season . About 10;30 I checked my watch and said to myself 1 more hour than I'll break for lunch back at camp suddenly out of thin air the woods were alive with deer no doubt the work of driving hunters from one of the many nearby camps . My stand is by a huge clearcut that is surrounded by a fence that creates a funnell if any deer come upon the fence than they either have to go dopwn hill into the forest or right past me there was one Doe that was at slight trot coming right past me . I raised my 30/06 whisteled twice she stopped I put the croos hairs on her shoulder and squezed the trigger at the report of the gun she fell right over and expired in less THAN A MINUTE . less than one minute to end an 11 year curse hopefully I'll kill another one before 11 years .tHE FREZZER WILL SOON BE FULL OF TASTY VENISON AND i WONT HAVE TO BUY MEAT FOR AWHILE. THANK YOU GOD . |
