I went out this afternoon and got in my stand about 4. I had been hearing things all afternoon hoping that they would be deer then to find out that they were just squirrels messing around. At about 5:45 i heard something from the East and sure enough it was a doe. I was telling myself that today if I saw a doe i was gonna take her because it would be my first bow kill, let alone my first deer so i was excited. After she crossed the creek about 10 yards from my shooting lane, 2 fawns came up behind her. At this point she was turned around waiting for them to catch up. After seeing this i was contemplating the shot keeping in mind never shooting a deer before. She came into my lane broadside at about 15 yard with the 2 fawns close behind. I raised my bow into shooting position and I just couldn't do it. I had that 15 yard shot for about 20 minutes and just sat there and did nothing but watch. Finally they walked away leaving me with a bittersweet feeling. I felt good because I didn't take momma away from her babies but i felt dissappointed because I could have taken her but didnt. She was a biggen too. What would yall have done?
