Got me a doe!
Well I went back to that spot this morning where I had those 2 deer come under my stand to the vanilla scented leaves last night. I was playing w/ the turkeys again and looking thru my binos to see if I could see a bird. I look down and see a doe coming to my stand right before 8AM. I had bleated about 5 mins earlier. She got behind 2 skinny trees at about 10 yrds away. I put the pin between the 2 trees and pulled the trigger. She took off and then I saw her mom and sister take off. This was my first kill from a treestand and my first shot at a live animal from one too. She jetted off about 50 yrds and fell down and kicked a couple times and passed. I could see where she lay so I took out John Trout's 'Trailing Whitetails' and picked up where I had left off, just to pass time. She was small. I shot her thru the top part of the stomach and hit one lung. Farther back than I wanted but I didnt want to take a chance and hit the tree. It felt right and felt damn good to pick up my first real bow kill. My arrow is in perfect shape and was sticking in the ground. I took pics but dont have the cable w/ me to put on my PC. Ill post a pic in a few days. Now I see why some of you use a bow during rifle season. Its the coolest experience!!!
