I also took another doe out of the herd, this evening. I hadn't even had time to get settled and put my facemask on.....when I heard a familiar sound RIGHT UNDER ME. I looked straight down to see a BB. I watched him sniff around where I had placed my stand and gear.....and he then mosey'd on to my left a little. I had thought I heard another deer to my left....but I wasn't gonna look down without my facemask on. When I finally thought I had the chance to look....there was a doe under the canopy of a sapling. I found an opportunity to stand....and they both walked straight away. I pegged her at 20yds....and came to full draw. She turned to her right.....and was broadside when I released. The hit was a little back.....and I watched her bound away with a huge hole in her side. It was 4:30.

6:00, Lisa nd I go back over to get on the blood trail. It was sparse. We walked down to where i thought she'd gone....and I went into the thicket a bit to see if I could see her in the fading light. I'd made a mistake. I jumped her up. She only went about 20 yds and kinda fell over against a tree. I quietly backed out. Lisa and I went out to eat....I called Rob.....and we decided I'd go back in after 10:00. I left the house at 10:00 and walked right up on her. She's already on ice.

I'm exhausted. I'm gonna go lay down beside my honey....as soon as I unwind a bit.

I'm not hunting again until PA....but I'm all of your biggest cheerleader. I'll hunt here, again, on 11/3.....and then not again until Rob/PA's her on 11/16.

Good luck to all.
