Turkeygirl Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Did my doe management this AM:) I was planning to hunt this afternoon down the road, BUT while I was doing barn chores, noticed some deer tracks that came up by our barn which is not common. So I finish inthe barn this AM and as I'm walking down to the chicken coop (which is 1/2 way down in the horse pasture), I'm watching the bank in our woods and low and behold I see 2 deer bedded...holy smokes! I turn around and walk back towards the house (I get behidn the woodpile and then run,lol). I grab my vest and shotgun, holler to my mom there are deer in the woods, she comes out to watch. I've now got the gun loaded and walk casually towards the coop. I get behind a bush, sit down, see one doe, can't get a shot, too many twigs. I stand up and walk a few feet, sit down,still can't get a shot. Move again, sit down, I now see a third deer up higher on the bank cleaning itself, the one in the twigs is still bedded, and now I've got a clear shot at the third one, a doe! All I can remember is putting the crosshairs right on the shoulder and BOOM! Deer jumps up than staggers and falls right over, dead in seconds! Praise God, thank you! I filled my doe tag and am now tagged out for shotgun season:cool2: Zoomed in but taken from the spot I shot from: A good size healthy doe: I still have my antlerless bow/muzzleloader tag for late season but dunno if I'll go out then or not...freezer getting full!
