Hello Team,

Oh I almost had a dream come true of killing a deer from the groundyesterday afternoon.
I am not sure if most of you know but I work 3rd shift. I went to bed kind of late yesterday 11 am instead of the usuall 09:30. Well of course that caused me to get up late which was 4 pm. The wind here in my part of Wisconsin was out of the east and I had no stand to use to hunt that wind. So I decided to throw my climber in the truck and head out. I got to a spot of the woods where its pretty thick and on a fence line, the farthest part west on the property. I was standing in the cut corn field and looked into the woods and not much for a spot to use my climber. So I said heck with it and decided to just go in and stand near a tree. Once I got in there I just had that feeling the spot was good. It has that canopy type feeling where you feel like your in a whole different world. Well about 06:10 pm I see movement to the east and here comes a real nice size doe heading towards me just off to the south. She stops and it seems she is staring right at me and I didnt even move. After about 2 minutes she carry's on and get to about 20 yards and by this time I have drawn my bow. She stops just short of one of the few lanes I have to shoot. Then she starts heading southwest on me and I cant get the shot off. Well now she starts heading more west and is currently about 45 yards in front of me to the south and heads west to this green pasture. Well I start watching back to the east to see if anything is following her. After about 10 minutes I hear a twig snap to my right and its that dang doe. She decided to come down the fence line and then head east right to me. I have the wind blowing right at her and I cannot move a muscle and she walks to right within 10 feet of me I could not believeit. So I am frozen and she stands there I have my right eye closed and can barely see her with my left. She is to my right the west of me. So finally she walks right in front of me 5 feet away itches then quarters away to the southeast. So now I got the forked tree and her between me and I can move a little. Well she gets about 10 yards out and I pull back figuring she will walk into my shooting lane to the left of that tree. Well she gets to that lane and stop with just her nose peering into the lane. Then thee ol little snort happens then she jumps about 2 feet to the southeast and then walks away. Oh what fun I had with that one and it would of been so cool to get one from the ground and now this has opened me to a whole new way of trying to get one. I have always used tree stands when bow hunting. Now I have a whole new challange. Dont get me wrong I have thougth about this but never figured I had a chance and now I do. Sorry for the long story but I had to share.
