Well i went out yesterday had a good and bad day again. I was sitting there when about 9am two does start coming down the wood line next to the bean field i am on. They where eating some beans and grass as they came on down got to the corner to enter the woods i knew they would come right in front of me. So the only time i could stand would be now or when they turn and they where moving at a good speed. the wind was from the south and they where almost due north of me so i guess another medal for my scent control. So i stand and one doe sees me but does not seem completely alarmed but she knows i am there.
When i stood my pants fell to my ankles. I am standing there full camo with my pants on my feet and thermal underwear showing. Which did not bother me except the brite white thermals. So i slowly sit down to pull my pants up. She see me sit and jumps down the trail the yearling i shot in the leg last week went down. I got to draw sitting down and turned to my right so my string was sitting on the metal bar on the stand. I moved out Little to get it off and spooked her.
She ran but the other doe. I think she was dumb or slow and she just stood there. So set my pin on her heart and let it go. I got in a hurry since the other ran made a big mistake. i had ranged the tree next to her at 26 yards. SO i thought i would set the 30 pins Little low not much. Well in the hurry and deer fever i set the 30 pin right on here heart and shot over her.
I did get lucky the luminock let me find the 15.00 arrow and the 8 dollar broad head in the brash even in day light. Guess it could have been worst and i could have wounded her.
But on a good note i have had three shots on does though i have missed all three i have now seen more deer in three hunts this year then in the last two years i have hunted with a bow. In fact i would say i have seen more deer this year in this one spot then i have ever in my first 5 years of hunting period.
god help me
