As a new hunter, I will feel accomplished this season in just learning how to recognized sign, or seeing a deer. Each time I am out in the woods, I learn a little more about white tail behavior, and their environment. And while I have yet to see a deer in the woods, it is ironic that I should come home after a Saturday morning hunt, only to find a Doe and her two Fawns snacking on the acorns in my yard. They knew we were watching them, but they didn't seem to mind. My first thought was that I should get my bow and see if I can take the doe. Then I started thinking, do I want to do this in my backyard with the two Fawns looking on. Somehow it seems that it might be different if I were in the woods. I guess this Doe and her kids find my yard a safe place to have a snack. Am I thinking too much; getting too mushy? I've never done this before and I need some perspective. Thanks.
