Default RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread

Got to my stand about 12:30. At 2 three of this years fawns came to the feeder. Too little for me personally. I know their mom was somewhere but didn't see her. After about 45 minutes a good sized doe came from the other direction and the little ones ran off. She looked around for 30 seconds and walked under my tree, looked around some more and walked off behind me. I happened to be sitting at the time and couldn't have gotten a shot off anyway. I thought I'd better stand. About 3:30 ,3 different little ones came in while mom stayed across the creek and watched cautiously. She thought I was something in the tree and kept eyeing me but couldn't quite make me out. A dog began barking in the distance which took her focus off of me. As I was trying to watch her and the little ones, the bigger one spotted me and bound off about 40 yards. Closely followed by the other two and mom. They walked up the hill...no harm done. Thought that that might be it for the day but decided what's another hour or two At about five I hear a comotion to my left. It's the first 3 little ones, half running towards me. They began feeding. This time mom was close. Shortly after this the other group comes back too. Their mom is to my right and she starts blowing evey so often. Was it at me ? Nobody seemed concerned. At 5:20 I watched as the other mom decided to come out from the cover. Was a bit concerned about all the eyes around busting me but I drew back as she walked behind a clump of trees. She walked out perfectly broadside at 17 yards and stopped. NOW or NEVER I thought and I let her rip. Didn't really see the arrow but saw a spot open up on her as she mule kicked and tore off up the hill. Saw her go about 60 yards through some thick stuff and then heard her go crashing back down the hill. Took a few deep breaths. Called the wife. Waited about 15 minutes and went and found my arrow. Complete pass through stuck in ground. Whole arrow covered in red blood. Backed out at this point to PM Germ about time frame. About an hour later heard the yotes howling and thought we'd better go look for her. Found her right where I heard her crash ! Dead 1 1/2 hrs later. Sorry this was so long.

Thanks guys for all your help ! I couldn't have done this without all of you !
