Blake Chitwood all smiles over his first deer
Eleven-year-old Blake Chitwood was hunting with his grandfather, Buddy Powell, on Nov. 17 in Franklin County when he killed his first buck. The nice four-pointer weighed 110 pounds.
Blake deserves, who shot the deer with a 30-30, some pretty major credit for the hunt. He and his grandfather were in the stand at 6:15 a.m. and the deer didn't show up until 10:30 a.m. That's some incredible patience.
I did a quick sit Wednesday evening, but it was mostly a scouting trip for a youth hunt I'm hosting Friday and Saturday. I saw a few deer and I think action should be decent Friday and Saturday after this front moves through and temperatures plummet. No hunting today. I'm taking care of some office work now, then it's off to deep-fry our turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving.
