Pictures of Doe playing below the tree stand today.

Today I put another 10 hours in the tree stand and seen nothing but doe play under it. As I said before we are in a buck only area and in any case I would not shoot a doe either way. Or most importantly I will not shoot a deer that is not at least a 6 pointer that is big or usually it has to be a 8 pointer. But still got a lot of time for the big buck so show up.

Today Wade and one of his old football players he coached flew to Craig's home in Souix Falls to spend a few days with his family as Wade is the Godparent of one of Craig's daughters. Then he is flying back on Wednesday to spend the rest of the week here with my parents and us.

On a good note though is that Nate raced the State Cyclocross Championships in Hales Corners. It was a good test as Nate had to do everything himself as I was up here hunting and Cece was with a bunch of little girls painting things for Jessica's Birthday party. But he got there and Thanks Randy for taking care of the paperwork for him. Nate toed the line in the Jr 18 and under race and took a 2nd place to Ian who has been racing real well. Great job Ian and Nate. Then he toed the line for the cat 4's and took the State Championship. A great way to finish the season of hard work that paid off with a season of great results. Now it is time for a few days off and then back at it with some bmx racing. Later..
