As for me on openning day, I had 6 does and 2 fawns near me. I moved to the right side of the tree I was in for a shot. The deer were on the other side. I was shaking like a leaf. This would be the first deer that I would kill. But is was not to be. The deer heard some noise. I think someone getting ready for a soccer game, by banging their cleats together outside a house where I was hunting. When that happened, they were gone. If I had turned to the otherside of the tree, I would have had a shot. I moved to the wrong side of the tree to begin with...
I hunted the same spot this morning. Cars going up and down the driveway carrying kids to school didn't allow the deer to move the same way the moved on Saturday. And the wind wasn't right.
I think I will try this in the evening in a couple of days.
