Default RE: Your Hunt Today! Lets Hear it!

Well boys I went out tonight and had the best hunt yet of the season, maybe a top five for life! I went to the swamp spot and was greeted by a guy on the drive that was leaving, he comes and gets some of the prime dirt and uses it in his landscaping business. So i was like this sucks cause now all the deer are on alert or gone! So I walk back nice a quite and round the corner going to my blind and whamo right in front of my blind at the twenty yard marker was a nice big fat doe! I froze, then crapped at first. But she was about eighty yards away and I soon realized she did not make me. Now there was a small clump of big tall dead weeds off to her right between us so I took my time and slowly inched over so I had a little something between us, but not much! She was eating off the ground and had here head down 95% of the time so I stayed hunkered down and moved toward her thinking any moment she was going to raise her head and bust me. But after a long and slow crawl all hunched up on my feet I was by the weeds and needed to move out so I could shoot her. I was able to move out, she was only twenty five yards away and she did not make me! But she was quartering toward me real hard so I did not want to shoot. I stayed all hunched up and watched thinking she would move a little and give me a shot, but it did not happen. She would glance up, and I would think its over but she would continue to nibble on the short weeds. I was soon having bad thoughts of taking a bad quartering too shot, it was hard to resist, even had the little devil on my shoulder begging me to give her a head ache, but I resisted. Well after about ten minuets of thisall hunched up on my feet they must have started to fall asleep cause i was doing just fine, then I lost my balance and nearly fell, she looked up and about two seconds later I got the white flag salute! I did not kill a deer, but that was a great stalking experience.
