Tommy Nunley gets it right in the late season
Tommy Nunley of Wytheville sent me a couple of deer shots the other day, and I was pretty happy to see what they were -- him with a couple of great deer. He had some great words to match, too:
"I wanted to echo what Ralph Barton had to say. I wasn't lucky enough to get a nice buck like Ralph did but I was able to get two does in two days of hunting using about the same strategy as Ralph. You have to be out there to make it happen! I was out there braving the cold and I'm very happy with the two deer that I've blessed with in this great new year!"
The stories of the hunts are on Tommy's great blog, which is heavy on hunting content.
I feel like I've made the big time now! It's a real honor to see my picture up here along side folks that I would consider much better hunters than myself. It's great to be a part of such a great community of outdoorsmen!

Congrats Tommy on your great late-season deer!!! And in my opinion they are ALL Trophies... whether large or small, or bucks or does. I'm also glad to see hunters harvesting does, that's very important for good management of our deer herds

Way to go Tommy!! I killed my first deer [ever] this year and with a bow, in Wytheville on a private farm. Dude I'm still thinking about that day! Even though it was a doe, you are absolutely right, it felt like I had killed a monster! Congradulations Tommy and loved the blogs you have written.

Thanks for the kind words J.R.! I enjoy hunting and the hunting community so much that I can't help but write about it!
