Default RE: Cam Pics

Sunday evening I took my climber out to a new area I had scouted out earlier in the season. I sat a tree at the base of a ridge where there is a travel corridor that the deer use along the base of the ridge that allows them to travel in the woods out of the open CRP Field at a place where there is a saddle that crosses the ridge point. I had a doe come in at me at a severe quartering angle so I couldnt get a shot at here before she got to me, and when I did have a shot she was just to close... she came in and stood directly under my stand... I had to look down between my boots and through the stand platform and see the top of her... it was all I could do to control myself... I wanted to spit on top of her head just to see what she would do for Giggles. well she finally walked out from under my stand and offered me a quartering away shot at 10 yards... if she had gotten any farther away I wouldnt of had a shot because of the still green and thick tree folige in the canopy. So I took the shot and got her.She definatly isnt my largest doe to date but she was very healthy. I didnt see any bucks that evening but I did fing some huge trees with some impressive rubs on them and lots and lots of scrapes in the woods , CRP Fields and AG field edges. So I have scouted out an area where I feel I may have a shot at a good buck based on the rubs I saw in the vicinity of where I found my doe.
