RE: 34 - Official Team 34 Thread
And while hunting today i saw 5 does and 2 bucks, but nothing came in shooting range. They headed straight for the cut beans. One of the bucks was a real nice 6 that should have been an 8 but he didnt have any brow tines. Looked like either a 1.5 or 2.5 year old deer to me.....same body size as the spike he was with.

Congratulations Caleb.....good job.
I had a doe at 14 yards last night but the poor thing was so skinny....I let her pass.
She was a young one, but had no meat on her yet. Hip bones and ribs were sticking out so I thought maybe she should just go eat something. Plenty of food around for her right now.
I'm happy for you. Those does are good eating when they are a little chubby.
Going back to the farm in a couple of days I hope. Didn't see many bucks......lots of does with little ones.
Good luck to the rest of you guys and hang in there Caleb....you'll score a nice buck!

First the pic:
Now the story. I hung a new stand behind my pond in between 2 bean feilds. I gotall settled inat about 4:30.About an hour laterI saw 3 does get up from the bean feild and walk off into a bedding area thats next to the feild. At around 6:30, 2 does came out of the bedding area and into the bean feild, and started walking straight towards my tree. The first doe stopped about 5 yards from the base of my tree and started eating grass. I had drawn my bow about a minute before because she had been in range but had been facing directly towards me. After feeding for a few seconds she turned to herleft and i touched off the shot. I heard a smacking sound but couldnt tell if i hit her or not. She ran out into the feild about 100 yards and stopped. She stood thier for a minute or so and thenfell into some weeds where i couldnt see her. The other doe had run along side her and had stopped and was looking into the weeds where she fell. After a few minutes she ran off. A few minutes later the doe i shot at got up and ran a few steps and then fell again and stopped moving for good. This is my 3rd deer overall, my second bow deerand my first for the this season.

Nice job Caleb, TeeJay! Keep it up. One of us has to score something with antlers. I'll be going out Friday and Saturday. The temps around here are still waaaaay too warm, supposed to be in the high 60's all week. Oh well, hopefully it cools off by Halloween. Good luck all.
