Got a nice doe
Got to my stand at 4:30 pm, seen nothing but tree rats the first hour. At 5:30 a doe and two button butts walk into a thicket 80 yards away.I seen these same deer three times before but had no shot.5:50 they finally come out of the thicket and start heading my way.They are coming up a trail that would put them broad side at 25 yards.So i bump my sight up to my 25 yard mark.I wait till the doe goes behind a big tree and i draw,hoping the little ones didnt see me.She stops and i wait, i was at full draw for about a minute till she finally moved, but when she did she turned left and came in quartering away,so i wait for her to past buy me still at full draw.My arm is starting to shake a little and now shes 15 yards and quartering away,I aim 2 inches lower than normal because of were my sight was set and let her go.She took off running and didnt show any signs of being hit,she ran 80 yards and stopped,im thinking i missed her,whenshe dropped over kicked a few times and that was it.Got both lungs and just missed the heart.She left a blood trail like I never seen before.Time of kill 6:01.Hey Jerry606, if you dont mind ill sent you my pic so you can post them.
