Hey,

This is my first post and my first year hunting deer. I'm hunting in Canada, Manitouline Island to be exact.

I've seen a lot of deer, but all 1st year deer or doe's. No bucks to date. Last weekend I had a 1st doe in my sites and I wasn't sure if I should take it down as it was a little small as I was thinking about it, it seemed to have noticed something to my right as its eating my apples (i'm 14feet up in a stand). I then t hink to myself, what could be there.. The doe taps its feet twice on the ground and slowly walks away.. About 5 minutes later I see a diffrent doe, much bigger in the field in front of my snorting loudly and running up and down the feild. Why did the doe freak out ? was it me ? was there another deer to my right ?

Also, why does it seem like my father and his partner see all the bucks. I've been hunting every weekend for 6 weeks and have yet to see a buck. They've both gotten bucks and they've seen a good 6 each.. Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for your time.
Cory
