PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" was shared with us by Kyla Graham of a really nice doe she took with archery equipment. Due to the government shut down, Kyla had been furloughed so she had more time to enjoy her passion. She ordinarily hunted from a tree stand but her husband, Ian, talked her into trying his tree saddle. Kyla had only used the saddle from a pre-hung position a couple of times but Ian gave her a crash coarse on setting it up herself. Anxious to get into the woods, she started out an hour and a half early hoping to have some wiggle time after setting up. The leaves were loud and crunchy and as she walked in, a deer blew at her several times which we all know gives us that sick feeling! When Kyla got to an area she liked, it was hard to pick a good tree. After the fourth one she finally got it right. Her heart calmed as she was up and settled with thirty five minutes left before legal shooting light. Ten minutes before light she heard footsteps to the east. Then, about ten minutes after light, she spotted a 4 point buck she had passed on earlier in the season. She watched as he turned and walked up the hill away from her. A short time later she saw a doe about 80 yards away. Taking the same path as the buck it came straight at her! At around 30 yards the doe kept walking but now at 20 yards paused broadside giving Kyla a chance to shoot. Ian brought their two year old daughter, Cora, to help find the deer. There were only speckles of blood but they soon found her doe at the bottom of the hill. The shot had taken out both lungs and clipped the heart! Kyla and Ian smiled when little Cora was so excited that she said, “Find Mama’s deer so we could eat it!” Reflecting on the season, in Kyla’s words, “After 100 hours, I finally made it happen!” Congratulations Kyla on a fun and successful hunt!
