This gun season my uncle Jerry a.k.a. Zimmy came down to go hunting with me. The area I hunt is a 300 acre woods with a swamp in it and a creek that goes right down the middle of it. Me and my uncle saw plenty of deer the whole time he was there but the deer were running and we couldn’t hit anything. My uncle worked his BUTT off trying to drive deer to my dad, grandpa, and I the whole time he was up here and he didn’t get a thing, remember that. After he left me, my brother, dad, ad brother didn’t see anything and weren’t going to go out any more after Thanksgiving.So we all went out Thanksgiving morning, Jerry still gone,giving it all we had that morning so that somebody could get something. Well it happened!! I got a doe and we were all happy. I felt bad for Jerry because he couldn’t be their with me during the hunt. I called him and told him and him I got one and he was happier yhen ever. But I still felt bad for him. We had a T-zone in mid december and Jerry was going to bring his friends muzzleloader up and use that. He said he was going to look at one on the way up and I guess he got one.The first morning we went out and I sat I my stand and he stode about 200 yards away from me in a thick wood. After about 20 inutes of seating I heard him shoot!! He said after an hour of seating he wasgoing to drive the creek bottom back to me.Well he did and once he got to my stand Iaskedhim if he got one. He said he was just seeing how the gun shoot.After we talked for about 5 minutes he asked me how much ambition I had and I said why he said he was going to ned some help draging that deer out and fell bad anymore because Jerry got what he wanted and he deserved it!!
Jerry is a great hunter and a wonderful guy!!
