The Official First Deer Thread

No deer tonight but had a cool encounter with a great horned owl after shooting light was gone.
I saw something break the light against a nearby tree and watched a shadow get closer to a closer tree to me so I grabbed my red light and as soon as I turned it on I noticed this owl coming right towards me so I lifted my crossbow to block it and it turned at the last second.
Had about a 3.5' wingspan and total silent wing beats.
I love owls.
 
Small 6 pointer laid down just out of bow range tonight.
He watched a mama and her fawns come in and they totally ignored him and walked right by.
I finally scared him off when I glassed him and made some noises to get a better look.

On the way out of the woods i went to check the mail and the streetlight revealed 8 does crossing the street.
They must have waited for me so they could thumb their tails at me.
