I had a pretty good doe hunt. I hunted the Chippewa county forest. It was two friends (one being 80 yrs. old), my brother, my (8)yr. old daughter, and myself. We got to our stands early Thursday morning and the old guy was the only one to see deer, he missed. We agreed to sit until 9:00, after that we did some small drives with me being a driver and of me missing the deer that are running up the hill. I didn't touch them.
2:30 rolls around and my daughter wants mom to come and pick her up.There was no answer so daughter has to come with me for the afternoon sit. I showed my brother a spot that looked inviting so he decided to sit there. Me and daughter drive to the oak knob that is just offof theATV trail. We sit in the same spot we left our stuff for the morning sit, right in the hole in the ground that the big oak left after it uprooted. It is a good spot, you can see 360 degrees around you.
As I was trying to keep my head from hitting my chest, my daughter whispers, "Why don't you take a little nap?" so I said ok and nodded off. About a half hour went by and I heard a whisper say"dad I just seen a but over there", so I raised up slowly to look in the direction she claimed to see it.
I didn't see anything for twenty minutes and finally they came out. I could see two maybe three. I told her to plug her ears, and when the deer turned broad side, I squeezed the trigger, daughter asked"did you get it?" I replied yes and told her to sit tight because there was another. I got the other in the scope and that one went down also. My brother also knocked down two on the oak ridge he was sitting on.
At the end of that day my daughter was excited for me and glad that mom didn't answer the phone.
Sunday I went out on my own to a different piece of Chippewa County forest with another oak ridge and I shot another big doe. Now I can focus on the big ones with racks.
