So to start this off a backdrop. I’ve been hunting an area I was drawn for an archery management hunt. It started Nov 1 and runs til the 30th. I took the first day off from work and sat in my stand for the entire day. I saw an 8 pt about 40 yards and had a 5 pt walk by about 11 yds. Now since this is a management hunt you have to take a doe first.
Most of the area has a lot of straight trees for using a climbing stand. But that leaves you exposed a lot. The first deer that came close spotted me right off. I was in a double trunk oak hoping for some cover but she came in the way that skylined me.
She looked at me multiple times while continuing on a course that gave me a shot. However with her looking at every little attempt to dr I rushed the shot and shot high while she ducked at the same time. No luck.
