Thar She Blows! 21 Times?
Went out this am and started heading for where I wanted to put my climber, but the wind wasn't right so I went to spot B. I was settled in at 7:00. amd heard leaves crunching at 7:05. A big doe and 2 skippers were off to my right. Instead of taking the trail that would have led them under my stand, they stayed on a trail that went behind me. I was hoping they would come around on the other side, but then I hear her blow.And blow, and blow... I was frozen solid, I didn't want to give her a reason to bolt. The blowing was over my right shoulder, but then, it was over my left. She was moving, and I thought she might come around to the side of my stand.but she hung up at about 50 yards behind me, and I was able to see her and another deer.Now I'm not sure if it was the same 3 I saw originally... Anyway, She blew a total of 21 times before they took off. I tried grunting her back. hit the can a time or two, but nada for the rest of the day. I have to wonder if I would have hit my first location if I would have had a shot?? Anyway, that is the most I've ever had a deer stand her ground blowing. Usually, 3 or 4 tops, then they're gone or decided there was nothing to run from. What was the most you ever had a deer blow at you?
