Got one last night! Tender steaks to be had soon.
 

It's just a young one, but I'm sure happy. I'd been in my tree saddle about 45 minutes when two "does" came sprinting through the woods at full speed right at my tree. I barely had time to grab my bow. The first one kept going right on by me but the second one stopped and looked around at 20 yards and broadside. I'll take that shot any day.

The deer only ran about 30 yards and died quickly. The bloodtrail was excellent. When I got there I was a little disappointed to see it was actually a button buck. Ithought it was adoe when I shot it. I don't feel too bad about it because when you've seen a total of 3 deer in 12 hunts this year, you can't be too picky. I'm a meat hunter whose freezer was empty, and those steaks should be real tasty! ;)

I didn't have a chance to take pics (it'sjust a nubber anyway) because I had to get it into the processor beforehe closed for the night. Temps are going to be warm today so I didn't want to let it hang outside all day. The processor charged me half price since it was just a little guy LOL!

Thanks guys! Now I'm after a big one, buck or doe. Glad to get Monday's debacle out of my system. :)

Nice going man. I think I would have waited to see what was chaseing them.

RE: Got one last night! Tender steaks to be had soon.
 

I thought about that in bed later that night and I wonder if maybe a buck was chasing them. It's just so hard not to shoot when you've hunted 12 times and seen just3 deer. And it's standing 20 yards and broadside. Know what I mean? Next time in that situation I'll wait to see if a buck is chasing. That dang trigger finger was real itchy after the season I've had LOL! :D

BB sure eats good, and you don't throw your back out on the drag, congrats! [8D]

Good going! My freezer is getting a little low in the corner my wife allows me for game. I'd have shot him, too.
