Today was my first time out (10/17/06) of my second year of hunting. I got out to my ground blind at about 5:30. I didnt see anything and with the wind blowing pretty hard i couldnt really hear too much. As i swung my head around to scope out my left side, I instantly froze at the sight of a pretty big doe at about 17 yards. This was the first time i had seen any deer while hunting so my nerves were running wild. As the doe walked directly into my shooting lane, i decided to pass on her. She had two fawns with her and i really didnt want to shoot a doe with two fawns.
So i watched the 3 for about 15 minutes until they moved on. This may not seem very exciting but for my first time out this year it has really motivated me to be persistant. I am now hooked.
