A deer's reflexes never ceases to amaze me!!!!

Congrats on the doe Bisch! You just need to come up to the Midwest. Our bigger bodied deer don't jump as much. Lol.

Congrats bud! I've yet to even put tension on a string since season started!
Oh, hogs can do that matrix thing too! As I'm sure you well know! Lol

Oops, double post!

I'm headed to KS in 10 days, and hope to prove your theory to be correct!!! And while I would love to kill one of those KS giants I always hear about, I think I will be happy if I can get one of those humongous does. Y'alls does weigh as much as most of our bucks!

Does eat better then rutty bucks, says I.  I have shot several crop fed does and they were scrumptious!

Congrats on the doe they truly are amazing animals

Congrats on the doe Bisch!!

In thinking back over the years, it seems to me that I have had more does "jump the sting" than bucks.  Or maybe it's just that I have shot at more does than bucks.  Anyhow, I agree with you Bisch...they sure can move fast!

Way to get it done Bisch! Sounds like you had a good hunt.

[jonsimoneau]

Good luck in KS! Don't worry so much about the string jump up there. They still do it but not as bad. I've been to Texas hunting hogs and I plan to hunt deer there someday. But I've seen the size of the deer. Some of them look like 1.5 year old does with P&Y racks on them!  All in good fun. Congrats again.

You're the man, Bisch!  I always enjoy your posts.  Congrats on the doe, and that's a real trophy cactus leaf there!    :D

Well done Sir Bisch, I'll bet they eat good,the best year we've seen in Sutton co and west Texas that most of us remember. Went out with friend yesterday morning and saw three different groups of bucks chasing does. That's early for Sutton co. Call when you here next trip.  Bob

Congrats Bisch.

Congrats! I wished I could say I never seen a  deer do that but..I have

[Terry Green]

Thanks God they all don't react like that....

never seen it so often as in TX as I've had it 95% of the time...I shot 2 there that didn't move....but all those on feeders surely did.

Here in GA it not only happens  MUCH less....it predictable a lot of those much fewer times.

Had same results in MO as in GA. Much calmer.

And Yep....had plenty not running off like a bat out of hell...had them bound and walk off and fall over 20 or 30 yards later....bound and stand there and fall over...and even go back to eating acorns.

TX deer definitely don't represent the norm by far

aHad the same panic attacks with hogs  that I haven't had in GA...FL or SC.

Congrats Sir!!!!

I too am in awe....

I had one broadside here in SC over a feeder facing right and the arrow struck her in the left side, that was with a wheely bow 20 yds 30' up a tree. Fortunately the shot was lethal quickly.

Now on a hunt at the ranch in Tx with the tradgang bunch I was warned about the deer reacting most of the time. My bad luck, held on a rock 3" below his chest at a feeder and hit the rock, buck did not drop although he was nervous as heck with body language. Arrrg.

In Kansas the 2 bucks I have shot stood there and took it, of course they were not over bait.

All you can do is read the body language, make your best guess and aim accordingly.

Congrats on the harvest Bisch.
