My first time out I scored on a very big doe. (dressed out at 95lbs.) I had two very nice bucks out at about 80 yds. I would estimate them scoring about 120-130 (best guess). I tried everything to get them within range. However, they were more content just rubbing on trees than comming in to my calls. I watched them for about 40 minutes and they walked off. A very nice doe walked in to range and I was hoping that the bucks would come back but they never did. I ended up shooting the doe right at last light. It was a 30 yd broadside shot and my Mathews Legacy with my Gold tip arrows and spitfire broadheads did the trick. The shot was a good hit in the lungs. The initial impact knocked her down (surprised) She got up and ran about 45 yds down a hill and piled up. The nice thing about it is that I can shoot another 4 anterless deer and still have my anydeer permit for my buck. I love a large deer population! I can taste the sausage now.

The palce where I was hunting is a new property that I am hunting this year. From 1 other previous scouting trip I noticed several large rubs on trees in the area in which I was hunting. So, I decided to give this area a try. When I saw those deer I was so excited. My heart pounded and my breathing increased. There is no better feeling than that. I just pictured the shot and the recovery! I should have known it was not going to this easy. Those deer didn' t get that big from being stupid! I am going to give the area a rest for a few days as I don' t like to hunt the same area two days in a row. Hopefully this comming up wednesday will be the day for one of those big boys to run into my aroow>
