RE: Slightly funny "chasing" scenario
Andy this woodlot is 10 acres. It's across the road from my house....and I get to see most of the deer there at one time or another drinking from the pond, there. I know exactly where these deer are bedding (on property I can't hunt....but have walked). If I thought for a minute there was a bruiser haunting this little patch.....I'd leave 'em be, too. There's a doe group of about 10 or more that use it.....so I thought taking one wouldn't adversely affect the spot (If I got a slam dunk shot).
It'll be interesting to see if any travelers come looking for these gals, though. Your sentiment makes me rethink my decision a little.
