Well I was off work today because of the rain and wind. So, I decided to go hunting for a bit this evening and do some scouting while I was at it fo r this weekend. I got to my stand around 3:30 or so. I climbed up the tree and sat down. The stinking wind was getting after it and I was really considering getting down and sitting on the ground before the wind snapped the tree in half. After about 30 min on the stand I was still thinking about getting on the ground when I heard something and looked up and saw a fawn 40 yrd in front of me. I thought now that is cool 30 min in the stand and there is a deer!! I keep watching the deer and saw movement behind the fawn and yep it was the mommy. They worked their way around in front of me and was around 30 yrds. I was really looking for Bucky but he never showed up. I keep watching them for around 30 mins. And the big doe finally gave me a good shot so I decided to go ahead and Take her at 23yrds. The shot was a little back it looked like but she only ran 20yrds and stopped. She stood there for about 20 seconds and fell to the ground. I was very pleased with the outcome of the shot. It really messes with me when I cant find the deer or they run for a long time. Thank the Lord I have finally got a deer with my bow this year. He is so good to me and My family.
