I got real lucky last Thursday afternoon. I got out of work at 5pm and it finally stopped raining. I hadn't been out at all yet this seasonso I grabbed my stuff and jumped in a stand that was right around the corner. I usually see deer from it but have never taken one there yet. I wasn't in the stand 20 minutes and a buck walked into the field and started feeding 100 yards away. He was heading away from me though. I used a doe bleat can and he reallyresponded toit. Everytime I called he got closer until he was standing broadside at 20 yards. He was a young 7 pointer but he had a big body. I couldn't decide whether or not to shoot. I really was hoping to see a much bigger buck that I saw while driving to my stand earlier.Anyway I decided to shoot him at 20 yards and he acted like nothing happened. He walked into the woods and layed down and went to sleep 30 yards from me. After I gutted him and dragged him up to the laneway there were five does standing there. They ran off before I could pick up my bow.

Saturday morning I was sneaking up a trail and walked up to 5 does. The biggest one gave a perfect broadside shot at 30 yards. Just as I released the arrow she saw me and spun around right out of it's path. I wasn't in the woods five minutes and was within sight of my camper. I almost hadtwo deer down in 25 minutes of hunting! So far so good.........
