Yesterday I arrived at my friend's and prepared myself for an evening of hunting. We both have our treestands behind his house, but he was doing a phone interview so I was hitting the woods about 30 minutes before him. I walked down through his back yard and his dog followed me along his electric fence as usual. As I step onto the trail leading into the woods I notice a doe no more then 5 yds to my left, sound asleep. Since my stand is only 50 yds into the woods I don't walk down with my release on or an arrow nocked. I freeze and try to quietly get my release out of my bag. At this point my friend's dog notices the doe laying there and begins barking. The doe wakes up, but still has no idea I'm there. I get my release strapped on and slowly start nocking an arrow. My friend's dog is barking more aggressively now. Obviously annoyed, the doe stands up, still clueless I'm ready to stick it with an arrow. Just as I nock the arrow and clip my release to the loop, the doe turns and begins walking into the woods. I wasn't about to shoot it in the butt so I quietly stalked behind it. Unfortunately it walked into a neighbor's field who isn't real friendly when it comes to the whole trespassing idea. So there went my doe...and needless to say I don't like my friend's dog at the moment.
