Coolest experience yet
Well i went out to my stand and sat for a couple of hours until two does came out. They were about a hundred yards away and coming right for me. When they got with in range i could clearly tell the smaller one was a fawn. So then i think to myself, i will take the big doe....Seeing as i have hunted 4 years and not gotten one yet i figured that it would be a good first deer. Well the fawn walked right under my stand and then right to the bigger doe. The fawn and doe, litterally less than 10 yards, the fawn goes under the mom and starts feeding!!!!
At this point i realized just how cool this was and that it was much more of an experience than getting my first deer. I learned more about the ways of the deer.
Well they headed down wind and then i watched as the momma caught my scent. It was facinating. The closest i have had deer before was 25+ yards....but now that fawn walked litterally right under my stand....15feet up!! I had to look through the metal webbing of my stand/
What a time. I think that was the most rewarding time in the woods yet. The set up came together and i made a responsible decision, not to mention my heart was pounding for the entire 20 minutes this took place in!
Just thought i would share....just cause it was so cool!!!

I remember a few years ago, I sat in my stand on a summer morning to see what was around. I spotted a doe coming by, with twins trailing behind...being currious little buggers. The doe continued on and the fawns got further behind. Finally the twins noticed they were behind and sprinted up to their mother. They hit her like a truck, literally knocking her off her feet. When she got back up, they immediately began feeding. Watching them interact that day was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
