Default I let her walk.

Early Urban Bow season started Sept. 3 in my county. Antlerless only. I Didn't see anything opening day or Monday. Tonight after I got home I got home I hurried out to my stand AKA the kid's treehouse. At sunset I heard some shuffling in the wet leaves and eased my head around to see a small doe moving thru, She was probably one of last years fawns and I thought about it for a moment or two before I decided I would shoot her. A bird in the hand (some venison in the fridge.). I was raising my crossbow when I saw a little head pop up from the ground a few feet behind her. Then another. Two spotted fawns. So I lowered my bow and watched then for a few minutes.... they worked their way over to my meager feed plot ( I went out into the wood a month ago and raked the leaves back, then spread a mix of bird seed and fescue into the rich soil. It's just sprouts now but the deer seem to keep coming back to it.) and stayed for another 5 minutes or so. IT was getting dark so I texted my youngest to let the dog out and make some noise.
No venison in my fridge, but I did get my heart thumpin'. Maybe I'll get lucky down the road at a neighbor's land tomorrow morning.
