Thursday, December 26, 2013 pm. Sunset: 4:35 pm. Hunting closes: 5:05 pm. Temperature: 24 degrees. Mostly cloudy. Light snow. Wind: NW 3-5 mph. After a great first Christmas with Charley, my wife agreed to watch her tonight so I could hunt. The obvious choice was the stump blind. As I was walking down the sledding hill, I kicked out 4 doe that were already out feeding. They took off to the east/northeast. I hoped they would come back before the end of shooting light. With 10 minutes of light left, I saw 2 does come from the north and enter into the border patrol food plot. With about 5 minutes left, they came across the bridge and came into the the stump food plot. 5 more does and fawns joined them. I had a big doe at 8 yards to the SE of me but it was quartering yowards me and it was too dark. Still fun to have some action. Totals: Bob- 7 deer. 7 does and fawns.
