They came in right at last light and I couldn't see the second one.
The way things looked when I got down,I suspected there was a second deer that I couldn't see.
I can't explain it, I just knew somehow I had killed two; after I shot there were all kinds of deer running around that I hadn't seen when I zeroed in on this old gal.
I did remember seeing two deer leave together after the shot though.
Finally after painstakingly going through everything in my head I sorted things out and found the second deer.
Here's what this story sounds like to me.
You were hunting over a bait pile and deer were coming in at last light. (almostdark) You got stuck in your stand a little late (could hear the deer coming) and could just see the doe come to the pile (new fiber optic sights work great)and could not seethe fawn behind her, but knew it was there. (sounds fishy)
You shoot and a bunch of deer take off you didn't see. (maybe it wastoo dark)
So, you were hunting after hours and "accidently" killed two deer.
Guilty!
One question, why would you post this on a public forum?
