November 15th, 2003 promises to be a beautiful day. Sitting 15 ft high in my tree stand at 6:30 AM I settle waiting for the morning to unfold.. I scan the wooded area which surrounds me when I see movement 150 yards to my right.To my amazement a buck emerges from the thick woods. He seems preoccupied and advanced closer.
At 70 yards I take aim, my heart is pounding like I had ran a marathon ! Calm down Kelly and breathe I tell myself. Steadilly I raise my 30-30 Winchester and squeeze a round. A fatal neck wound leads to the harvest of an animal way beyond my imagination ! Yet to my surprise a second buck appears on the scene. Was there a potential dual to take place ? One will never really know .My inspiration for next year ! I would like to encourage other woman to take up the sport and feel the exuberating experience ! Thank you Gord for being my greatest supporter, mentor and teacher..and you say I never listen. Kelly Moore.
