paul23 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Was a very windy night and saw 2 deer eating in a field a 1000 or so yards a way. Since noone's been seeing any deer to speak of since opening day and that wasn't very much, decided to do a spot and stalk using the wind to allow me to walk up to 100 yards of the deer from the field edge. Didn't bring the rangefinder so I figured on a 120 yard shot maybe a bit more on the bigger of the two. So to be safe, put the crosshairs just under her back and squeezed the encore off. Saw a white tummy when the smoke cleared. Talk about instant. This is my 2nd deer for the year with the encore, Win Sabots combo. I'm loving life right now...

paul23 Posted December 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Re: Filled my doe permit nah u can see em stickin out without binocs in a nice green field like they were in. I've tried many times trying to look at deer in this same field with binocs and having no luck telling if they were bucks or does. Just too far away. I figured one of the two had to be a doe so I made my move. I won't lie, it wasnt very difficult given the circumstances. Just the way of the land and the wind made it possible. There was a high fence row that allowed only my shoulders up to see what was on the other side. Hardest part was trying go decide if i should shoot offhand without a rest or try to crawl underneath a old barbwire fence that was missing the bottom row. Worked out perfect and couldn't be happier.
