Don't you just love playing chess with deer.
It drives me bonkers! But when you win the game it is worth it.
Two weeks ago I got a doe and could have shot the button buck that was with her but chose not to. Then another doe came in with a buck not far behind. They stay just out of range. Today I sat in a tree where they were. The buck comes in a different way and makes a scrape 20 yrds from the tree that I sat in 2 weeks ago. I have a new move for my next outing.
I hope that he survives this weekend (2nd gun season) so that we can continue our game.
