slughunter Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 so today I wasnt really planning on hunting and I had to mow our lawn after school which takes about 3 hours. but as I was mowing I look at the edge of the soybean feild and there stood a doe and fawn. so I go and tell my grandpa and ask how I should stalk them. he said there wasnt really a way you could get close enough for a shot with the strong wind. so I took this as a chanlenge, so I throw my gear on and jump on the atv to get around them to the woods. I was about 250 yards away and they could see me but they didnt pay much attention to the atv and kept eating. when im out of sight I go down a trail, wrap around the back side of them and go into a small valley that has a ATV trail that would come out about 40 yards from them. I get my bow out and slowly crawl to the top of this trail and there they stood, having no Idea I was there. I get my bow up and prepare for the shot when all the sudden the fawn runs into the woods and the doe comes at me and stops 25 yards away on the edge of the woods ( they didnt spook cause of me). I draw, aim, and release. but I must of jerked the trigger on accident becasue I missed just in front of her. It was awsome though, my first archery stalk ever, and I did it all without spooking them. to bad I didnt get here. I still got a long season left. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer2295 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Re: First archery stalk, almost succesful Hey it got your blood pumpin, and you proved that you could get close. What more could you ask except scoring on the deer. I am glad you enjoyed your short but sweet stalk, and good luck in your future hunts.
