Different Stand Same Results (well sort of)
« on: October 31, 2008, 04:06:00 PM »
Well last night I had a evening to hunt but the only stand I could hunt because of the wind was a stand that I have not sit yet it is a spot that I generally hunt during the full rut, because it is basically a funnel along a known travel route but I wanted to hunt and this stand it would be.  I got on stand early and to my surprise the water oaks were falling like crazy with a lot of sign and activity in the area including a BUNCH of new rubs and scrapes since I had hung the stand, things were were definately looking up but after a couple of hours of not seeing anything I started to second guess myself for sitting this stand I spotted a couple of does traveling and if stayed on course would put them dangerously close to my 52 lb. longbow and a Bear Razorhead (greenie).  It took awhile for them to get to my area from all the browsing they were doing but I was ready with a arrow on the string.  Then out of the blue a doe in the lead at about 30 yards for no reason just looked up at me and stared I guess my imitation of the tree I was in was not good enough she blowed and ran about fifty or so yards out taking the other with her.  I was bummed but still confident since it was early yet and after about 20 minutes or so they had finally convinced themselves that whatever I was I was not a threat and started moving back in my direction.  They came thru feeding on the small acorns that were scattered and the old girl gave me a perfect broadside shot at about five yards from the bottom of the tree she was done in seconds traveling less than fifty yards after the complete passthrough gaining both lungs.  My bet is that she will be good table fare!  Hope you enjoyed the evening hunt with me!

Big al I was really glad to get an arrow in that ol' girl, you are right she is one of those that blows and alarms the big boy when you are drawing your bow !  Old Does, you gotta love those old girls I know I have a sense of pride when I can outfox them!
