Well, so far this season I have not harvested a deer, but my husband (the lucky dog!) got a doe the second day. Nice 23 yard shot, double lung. Thank God I was in a position where I could see her fall because she left no blood at all until she fell. She ran about 40 yards into some thick timber. The only major pisser about this whole thing is that she apparently had a fawn somewhere. We saw no fawn before, during or after the shot, but she had a lot of milk. I've had to pass on several shots because luckily we did see the babies. I don't know why the deer have such small fawns this time of year. In two years we have never seen anything like it. Maybe the hot winter messed up the rut?
Anyway, the best I have been able to do is sneak within 4 FEET of two does, but the timber was so thick I couldn't find a hole big enough to put my arrow through! Sounds crazy, but it is true! Wish me luck this weekend guys!
