Opening day was beautiful, wasn’t hot at all very comfortable in Spotsylvania county 72 degree, at about 7:10 I had two does come in. The first walked right down my shooting lane never offering a shot she stood there for ten minutes trying to figure out, what I was etc. stomping and snorting as I was at half draw ten feet off the ground eye to eye contact 7 yards just waiting for that one shot. As I almost came to full draw the other doe walked out to my right that split second she moved behind a tree I was shaking my head NO! They walked out of sight when I looked again they were 20 yards walking away from view. I should've drawed back and quick shot her I thought, but my mind and ethics didn't allow for such an attempt increasing my chances of wounding than harvesting.

At about 2:00 pm 76 degree I had five does walk circles around me for about 45 minutes neither offering a shot, something spooked them once as they almost dashed off but returned this lasted for about an hour, all I was saying over and over in my head please step into the shooting lane. I made a homemade ladder stand works great, however I think I need to take it up to 15' right now it’s right @ 10' very portable and light weight.
