Decided to go to the woods and try to untangle the knots in my rope this morning. After dropping my daughter off at school I was slipping into the woods by eight. Since I hunt mainly on a WMA I knew I should get deep so I peeped and creeped a mile or so in until I reached two fields seperated by a narrow strip of woods. I got comfortable with the wind in my face and the sun at my back. I was watching a Redtail hawk searching for breakfast and enjoying the warming sun.
I had been set up about twenty minutes and was becoming engrossed watching a squirrel cutting hickory nuts when all of a sudden two does just appeared in front of me. I had expected them to my left but they hadn't read the memo. The both walked to within twenty yards when one of them decided something did not look right.
I still had the wind in my favor but she decided she wasn't going to stick around and left taking the other doe with her. Neither turned to offer me a shot but it was still a great encounter. I hunted another couple of hours but didn't see any other deer. When I decided to pack it in I still hunted back to the truck with the Redtail screaming over head telling me goodbye.
Best therapy to be had anywhere. Good hunting to all of you.
