Just wanted to share that our annual South Dakota deer run went great again. As non residents we can only get doe tags for the muzzle loading season. All of us that go only want venison for the table, and the ranchers are more than happy to get rid of the abundance of whitetails. The bucks hadnt lost they’re antlers yet and we saw dozens of them. In 1 1/2 days of hunting we saw 200+ deer. No exageration. Now some may have been the same deer at different times but there definitely is no shortage. During the week prior to our arrival 12 does had also been taken. We got our 7th one to fill out today at 11. Sorry no picks cuz it was @##$%^ cold and I was not about to worry about pulling the camera out. By the time we left the deer were awful spooky. I dont want to ruffle any feathers but apparently the locals all have broken legs cuz there idea of a portable stand has 4 wheels and a motor 
I’m sorry but we hunt deer for the challenge, the excercise, a little skill, and a good helping of luck to get the job done. Shooting out the window at deer someone else is busting there butt and freezing for is no sport in my opinion. Sorry had to rant a little. Had a fun weekend and now summer sausage sandwiches for work this summer 
Stay warm everyone!

And kudos to you for hunting them the right way and not like some of the other hunters that you encountered.
