My cousin called and asked if I wanted to go and running the dogs with him.  I had never harvested a deer with dogs before, so of course I said yes.  We loaded the dogs up and began looking for tracks on the road.  When another guy in the crew come across the radio and said he just saw a big buck cross the road.  We turned around running what felt like at least 100 mph down the dirt road.  We slid sideways as we stopped where he had seen the buck and dumped all the dogs out.  As the dogs hit the ground they left there like there was a fire under their feet.  You could hear the barks from the dogs echoing through the woods. My cousin said, "Lets go! I know where the deer like to cross"!  As we flew down the road my heart was pounding with excitement!  When we stopped we could hear the dogs coming straight toward us.  We both got out and got ready.  As the dogs got closer we could hear the deer crashing through the trees.  When he hit the road, I put my cross hairs right in front of his shoulders and squeezed the trigger.  He did a flip and landed on the other side of the road.  I was stunned!  It was my first deer, running with dogs!  After I caught my breath we went up to the deer and could see it was a nice 5pt.

Thanks cousin! I cant wait to go again!
