AFTERGETTING SKUNKED THE LAST 2 YEARS I FINALLY PUT A DOE IN THE FREEZER. MAN I FEEL GREAT

Awesome to hear that!! I put my first deer ever! in the freezer monday! Just got back from getting another tag just incase i see another nice one! Im going out tomorrow.. Wheres the story?

Yeah, we want a story!!!

How far south in Illinois are you, anyway? I come right through Tamms about every day and hunt on the other side of Ullin...

I live in Godfrey but hunt in Greene Co. near Carrollton. So heres the story: me and my brother scouted our hunting grounds 2 months ago and did our trimming of shooting lanes ect.So this morning we get there before light , I go to my stand but the trail is blocked by a downed tree and there really isnt a good way in at leats in the dark( forgot my flashlight) so I sit on the feild edge waiting for a little light to find my way.All the sudden I hear that dreaded sound of a deer snorting(busted, damn) I sit there a while hoping maybe the deer will come out but no. I turn around and see another deer in the middle of the feild about 150 yards out and it sees me (crap) anyway I make my way to my tree and climb up, strap my stand on and just getting ready to attach my safety harness to the tree when i see a doe coming in right at me (ever get doe fever?) dont even have my bow up yet and shes 25 yards and closing so i figureWTH? i pull the bow up with her still moving straight at me, nock an arrow and draw ( cool my pull rope dont interfere with bow string) aim at the sweet spot and let one fly, direct hit pass thru. she runs 30 yards and crashes. So I gave her a ride in my truck

I guess i'm not really that far south this year but [&:]

Amazing she didn't see the bow being pulled up from that close! Congrads again!

Congrats and good story too.

thats the funny thing she did see me pull it up nock an arrow and draw

I hate all of you. I havnt been hunting yet and i got my first doe last season and its killin me not having any meat for chili. Tell you one thing, Bambi is dead when he/she walks out.

Good job. some times it all comes together.
