RE: DE Late Shotgun Season
went out saturday 15th, saw nothing, couldnt make it monday, went out tuesday from 10am till dark ( with the bodyheater suit) about 5:20 started to roll up the suit to get ready to leave, was hunting on the ground near a holly tree, when i hear some kind of pounding, well i look up, i was on my knees rolling the suit up in my asat, damn doe about 15 yrds away on the other side of the tree stomping, reached for my gun and she starts blowing at me but doesnt leave, guess she coouldnt figure out what i was. She wouldnt move out from behind the tree so i picked a small opening about where the vitals would be and squeezed. To make a long story short i shouldnt have took the shot, slug must have got thrown off target by the six in diameter limb that had a fresh nick in it. White hair at the shot sight and very little blood for about 400 yrds. I searched for the deer on wensday, just in case she layed down after the shot, There was no sign of her laying down in that 400. Went out yesterday at 10am till dark, nothing, didnt go today, cant make it tomorrow. Sucks screwing that shot up. Have had a serious problem with rushing the shot year, both bow and gun.
