I do know the bucks are starting to get going in my area of PA.

Saturday morning I got my first deer with a bow, a nice sized doe. Everything worked out perfect, made a couple "can" callsand she comes right in and stops broadside 13 yards away. I made a great shot on her and sat down in my stand, put my bow in the holder, took my release off and just tried to calm down.[&:]

Well, wouldn't you know it, about 2 minutes latter I catch movement in the brush coming right from where the doe just came, and of course it's a decent buck.[:'(]

Well, I tried to get my release back on and get ready for a shot, but he knew something wasn't right and turned around and walk away. I tried calling him back, but no dice.

So it was a bitter sweet moment. I still got my first deer with a bow, but it could have been a buck. He was definitely following her trail though.

I have this Friday off work, I can't wait.
