Yesterday afternoon was exciting, but I didn't get a shot! I had just sat down and immediatly saw 5 doe cross the power line about 60 yards south of me crossing right where I had walked less than 2 minutes before, though not running they were moving like something was pushing them, I watched them head off away from me in the woods and knew they were on the move today. About 20 minutes later 5 more doe, one of them was huge, cam out of the woods about 120 yards in front of me and proceeded to slowly feed in my direction. After about 20 minutes of watching the lead doe was about 40 yards out and still working my way, when I noticed her jerk her head up and look to the north, after a few seconds she went back to feeding and then did it again, this time she decided something was not right and proceeded to trot back off the way they had come with the other 4 in tow!!! Man is bowhunting frustrating! I would love to know what spooked them, the wind was perfect and what ever she saw/heard was downwind of her. Oh well, such is life, if it is not raining to hard I will be back tonight.

Oh yea on a side note, my wife actually listens to me, when I was heading out she said "The deer should be moving good this afternoon, there is some heavy rain coming in tonight", now all I got to do is get her to start hunting.
