Went out this morning to hunt a swampy bottom on private property that the landowner said I really need to hunt---"deer in there every day"
About 8am, a large doe comes down the side of the ridge down into the bottom and starts heading my way. little closer...........little closer.....then about 12 yds away, she stops and beds down on my left side! I'm like " OH no, not there!!"
I'm left handed and had picked my tree precisely because the brush on the left should cover me until a deer is in range. Well, she was in range all right but all I could see was her eyeball. she chewed her cud and laid ther about an hour, then she got up and went right back out the way she came. I did have a shot broadside when she was going back up the ridge, but it was pushing 30 yds and just didn't feel right.
A second doe somes along from the same direction about 10 minutes later but she catches me stretching my legs.
