well this is the week i drew a permit to hunt a special hunt area on public ground. you have to shoot a doe first then you may shoot a buck. So i braved the cold 7 degree weather this morning for 3 hours in the tree. I saw 2 right after day break then notta. Got down to leave and saw 2 more. the when i drove out of the park there was a group of 10-15 up feeding around. I knew where they were heading so I got up in front of them 100 yards or so and set up next to a tree and some briars. Scared 2 out when i went in, but 10 minutes later 2 more came in. a doe and fawn. They got about 20 yrds away or so and i drew back(which was a big success in itself because i think i tore my labrum tendon in my shoulder again!) and the doe spotted me but i didn't really have a good shot she did the bob and weave thing for a little while then hopped off a few steps, so i put my pin on her shoulder as she was walking and drilled her. It looked like someone through a bucket of blood agianst the snowy background when the arrow hit. she went about 80 yrs and went down. Only problem was she went back into the group of other deer and buggered them when she died, including a prety nice 8 pter. Am heading back later to try for a buck. Glad to get a nice fat dow though. i love this cold weather!
