Hey guys, Just wanted to brag a little. I connected with a doe yesterday morning. Here is the story: Hubby and I walked out about 5:45am in the morning, temp is 29degrees with wind chill about 21. He walked me to my stand first. I had some trouble getting up the ladder. My belly kept getting in the way and my hunting clothes were too tight and I couldn't hardly get my leg high enough to reach the next rung. I about fell once at the top. By the way, I am 5 months pregnant. Anyway, It was about 7:30am and I spotted 3 doe and a spike at the corner of the field at an old mineral site. I raised my binoculars up to get a better look. The sun was right in my face and I think one of the doe spotted me because of the reflection off the bino's. They all went into the woods away from me. I let out a short tending grunt sequence and within 15 minutes they were back. I could see the spike had separated from the 3 doe, he went along the treeline just inside the woods and then out in the field downwind of me. I think he was trying to figure out what made the grunt. Anyway, the 3 doe came out into the field. The same doe that I think spotted my bino's kept looking at me every couple steps. She was on full alert and I knew I was pegged. The other 2 doe kept grazing. I slowly pulled the gun up each time the spooky doe put her head down. It seemed like it took forever. Finally she was in the crosshairs. She was slightly quartering to me so I waited for her step with her right front leg forward and WHAM... she dropped in her tracks. I will post pics when my hubby gets back from hunting this morning. After I shot, both of the other 2 does stayed in the field and kept looking at my doe. They were there at least 15 minutes. The smaller one acutally walked up to her and stuck its nose out toward it. I teared up, It was like the smaller doe was saying, "Get up Mommy" and she wouldn't get up. Kinda made me a little sad. I texted my hubby to come and make some noise in the woods so the 2 doe would leave the field. He was hunting in the woods adjacent to the field I was hunting. Being 5 months pregnant and my clothes too tight and drinking hot chocolate....I really had to pee. Will post some pics when my hubby gets back from hunting this morning. Oh, by the way.....ITS A BOY!!! :baby:After 3 girls, we get a son. :clap:

Hey guys, finally connected with a spooky doe yesterday morning. It was 29 degrees with wind chill of about 21. Was sitting in stand and sun was in my eyes, she spotted the reflection off of my binoculars. She kept looking toward me every couple steps. She stopped about 50 yards out and WHAM, she hit the ground. Will post more on the story later when I can get pics posted.

Way to go Ruth.

Congratulations Ruth.

Hey Wtnhunt, I hope you have a wonderful birthday today. I love you very much. :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: :happybday: Catrina

Take one day at a time Ruth. Sometimes even one hour at a time. You can only do the best you can with what you have. Prioritize and make lists. You can do it girl. Have fun and enjoy and every now and then, take a breath.....lol

No luck here either. Just never really heard the birds talking much. Went out several times but no luck. Better luck next year.

Love the show.

Thats's my girl. I'm soooo proud.

That is great Ruth. Too cool. We had a new patient admitted to the nursing home that I work at and I found out that she grew up with and was best friends with my grandmother. I had a great time talking to her and finding out all the "bad" stuff that grandma did when she was a kid.

It is your "personality" Tim. We all just love you so much.:tt1:

Gotta agree with you on this one Ruth, Tim's a pretty nice guy.

Soooo, What is the age old question????

Got my CNA certification at age 17, worked 6 years doing that then went to RN school. Became an RN in 2000 and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
