Oh Deer The Fun Continues

Hello, it is Odie checking in once again. Wednesday was an exciting day in the woods hunting for a deer. We only had a couple hours to hunt Wednesday morning. I just knew this was the day I would take a deer down. I have a story to tell!

 

It was an extremely still and foggy morning and things were quiet at first. I was facing a field waiting for a deer to show up. Uncle Danny was looking all around for deer. He looked over his shoulder to see a doe coming to the feeder barrel. I was trying to get turned quickly, cautiously and quietly so I could get a good shot. The deer was watching things closely but she was enjoying corn from the feeder. I am left handed but I could not get a left handed shot. So my  uncle suggested to try a right handed shot. 

 

The deer was 23 yards away it was a perfect chance to get my prize. I took the shot and immediately the doe dropped, flipped started kicking. I thought I was finally successful but she jumped up and ran away unhurt. I am dumbfounded and I still can not believe it happened.

When my Papaw and Uncle Danny checked things out all they could find was lots of hair. No sign of an injured deer could be found. The guess is the shot hit in a void spot between her back and lungs. 

Uncle Danny said I gave her a hairstyle change. Papaw Danny says she is telling all the other deer that corn is dynamite. It knocked me down it had such a punch. Here is my trophy for the day,a bag of deer hair. 

 

When we got back to the house and were discussing everything and I mentioned my prayer for the day. "Lord please let a deer come out by the feeder. Let me get a shot and take it down". God answered my prayer! I just forgot to add make the deer stay down forever. I did NOT hear the end of it all day. It was a long day but a boatload of fun. I have had to grin and take the jokes and laugh with everyone. 

I had to tell you before my family got ahold of the blog. 

The hunt is not complete yet. We are believing Saturday will be the day I will get my fully answered prayer. I am being extremely specific in my prayers for Saturday!! 

Thank you for reading today.

An Evening of Fun With Brian Free and Assurance

Hi, it is Odie and I hope you are having a great Wednesday. I am still on the hunt for my deer. We got a lot closer yesterday but no victory yet. I am having a fabulous time. 

For today's post I want to back up to Friday November 18th. My cousin Lisa Isaacs and I enjoyed a fabulous evening of music in Bellbrook, Ohio. It was great spending a fun night with Lisa. 

Hamilton Road Quartet started the wonderful night of music. They are a quartet based out of Columbus, Ohio. I had never heard them sing before but they have a great sound. 

Then it was time for the highlight of the night, Brian Free and Assurance. I was super excited to see one my favorite groups in concert again. 

Brian Free and Assurance is a top group in southern gospel music. I have enjoyed their music for many years. Their songs have great messages and their singing is fantastic.

Southern gospel legend, Jim Hill attended the concert. It was great to see the man I have heard and read many things about. Jim Hill sang with with the J.D. Sumner and The Stamps, The Statesmen and other groups. He also has written some well known Songs. 

 

It was a fantastic concert and I look forward to seeing Brin Free and Assurance in February. Before ending the night a couple members of Hamilton Road Quartet joined Brian Free and Assurance on "As Long As I Got King Jesus." It was a great cap to the concert. 

Thanks to Hamilton Road Quartet and Brian Free and Assurance for a wonderful night of  gospel music. Thank you to Strictly Gospel Ministries for bringing southern gospel music to the community. 

Thank you for stopping by today.

Hello from the woods, this is Odie checking in from Ohio. I am having a great time here at home. Yesterday was opening day of gun season for deer. I spent the majority of the day in the woods. I am still only a deer hunter but we hoping that changes today. 

Yesterday the weather was working against us. In the evening we saw a couple does but I could not get a shot. I was ready an waiting. It was exciting to see them and get in position. 

My Papaw Danny and Uncle Danny Morgan have worked had to make it possible for me to hunt. I am so thankful for their support and help!

I need to close so I can go back to the woods. I am enjoying the hunt and time spent with family. Thanks for reading!
