RE: DE Deer Season starts in a few hours
Still misting when I got up Monday morning so I decided to do a little still hunting on our farm that burned last week. Went way to the back where the woods were unscathed. Noticed a bunch of acorns were blown off during the rain so I made my way to a big white oak patch. I was working my way down a ditch bank, stopping to glass every once in a while, when I saw a deer feeding along a fire break about 40 yards out. I ducked down and closed the distance by half. Got set up behind some brush and waited 'em out. Turned out to be a doe, a fawn, a forkie and a tall racked 7 point. Eventually, the bucks headed out to the ditch I was on and the doe and fawn fed towards me along the paralleling fire break. Just as the forkie cleared the edge, the doe was about 3 yard over. She freaked when she saw me a snorted off. The bucks came running over and stood about 5 yards out looking at her. I had about a 3 inch gap between to trees to shoot through to get to the bigger buck's chest. Let's just say I have to go back and get my broad head out ot the tree!!!
Saw alot of deer in the afternoon. All does and fawns. Hunted a secluded bean field near Milton. Felt good to be back at it!!!! Probably head out again Sat.
