Well , there's this pHyscO doe that comes out of the swamp and blows a half dozen times every evening whether there is anything there or not. I've been 500 yards upwind and she does it!!
So New Year's morn I slipped in a half hour early to where she comes out in the evenings. An hour goes by with nothing, it's ok because crops are a half mile away.
8:00 I see a deer thru the brush at edge of CRP, she is coming in same way I did. She checks the ground a few times, but no worries, whenshe gets to about 20 she turns to go south. Well this is the time, so I squat a little to clear a twig and shoot.
Looks high just behind shoulder. She blazes off into the bottomland on neighbor. Gets behind some trees and stops, coughs and I hear a crash but can't see her. Text bro and tell him, he is in a blind but texts his neighbor and finds out nobody in there and guy says sure go get it. It's great to stay in good with folks next door!!
I wait 20 and get down, arrow didn't blow thru,but fell out first jump (or she jumped while it was going thru lol ) arrow blood soaked, but not really bubbly.
So I track sparse blood for about a hundred , it is picking up toward the end, but not seeing her. She fishhooked at the end and ran her head under a downed tree.
Nice doe, weighed 115.5 dressed.
Thank you ,Lord.

Well done Kenny. I'm still trying to get my last tag filled for IL, but it's been slow going so far. Got until Sunday to get it done. May take a pretty chilly sit to get a shot though. Good luck for the last week of season.
