muggs Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Went out last night and got up in my tree about 3:30. As soon as I was settled, I noticed 6 does in the field about 125 yards away. As they grazed they were joined by at least six more, it was hard to tell exactly how many. They were herded up already, and a warm front got them moving early. The field "V's" down and there is a hole in the barbed wire fence right at this neckdown. Scouting in August showed that this was a heavily traveled area. My treestand sits 30 yards away It took them about an hour to filter down my way. I watched 10 does jump through the hole in the fence in a single file line (reminded me of counting sheep). I picked out some of the bigger ones and tried to concentrate on them, it was hard with so many. I knew I would have to act fast, with all those eye in the area I knew one would eventually spot me. After 15 minutes past I still didn't have an open shot Then of course one picked my off, she spooked, and two a few hops, this caused a deer to step out in my shooting lane and my arrow found it's mark at 30 yards. She ran 70 yards and fell, it was a clean kill with an excellent blood trail. That's doe #2, still after a buck, with the limited time I have to hunt now, moments like those seem that much more enjoyable. muggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
