Default RE: Great MA Gun Opener

I hunt zone 11 yesterday I had 3 does and a fawn come within 60 yards of my stand. A nice buck came out behind them. Two of the does, and the buck were big bodied. My stand should have been placed a little closer to the trail, I had a nice broadside shot at the buck, took the shot, and hit a sapling in front of him that I could not see at that distance. The funny thing is after the shot the deer moved about 50 yards or so into some thick stuff, and then hung around for about 15 more minutes. Later in the day I jumped 3 more deer around 4pm. Today got rained on bad, jumped one, could not get a shot. All of the deer I have seen in 11 with the exception of a couple of fawns have been large in body size.
