I have really managed to salvage this week. I shot a doe on saturday, one on monday, and yet another tonight. good size doe. I found a spot that it is literally raining acorns off a horse pasture. the owner said the deer 'just run back and forth'. I set up and was huting by four thirty. I look behind me at five thirty and there are five coming in from the pasture. three little ones, a medium size doe (I think I opted to pass her opening day for fear she was a yearling) and a bigger doe. they were eating so many acorns I couldn't believe it. I passed on the smaller doe for the same fear I had on opening day a half dozen times. the bigger doe worked her way in to about 21 yds. all was going well, then I hear a squirrel in the tree next to me getting randy. the doe didn't care and stepped up as the squirrel was giving up on me. I drilled her broadside. I figured it would be an easy tracking job. not a chance. this was the hardest double lung tracking job I have ever had, and among the hardest tracking job period. a drop here and there every ten yards. took me nearly an hour to find her. she went about 120 yds. not much blood whatsoever. I have to go and get more doe tags, because I only have my 2 buck tags, and I am not shooting a doe with a buck tag. enjoy.
