Thanks SO much, guys. Yeah....anyone who knows me knows how much I "work" at my hunting. I actually had two buddies in town who went with me on the recovery. Special stuff!
The story.....
I sat a buddy up, Saturday morning, in a ladder stand....where I thought he may get a look at a couple piebalds I've been getting on cam. I set up in another ladder about 50yds away....and watched him take a nice old doe, that morning. My other buddies arrived on Sat. afternoon and Sunday.....and we hunted some different areas. Had a good wind for a spot for 2, yesterday, so I sent them there. I went back to the ladder the 1st foe was taken from....just to "look", honestly. I'd taken a doe from this spot last year (last day shooting the wheelie) and I wanted to see what the evening movement was like. Just like the closer, last year, they started filtering into the woodlot (from their bedding area across a pasture), right before last light. I had about 3 does and as many fawns come in and start feeding on acorns. Although she's not big.....she was the biggest doe in the group. She offered me a slight qtring away shot at 16-17yds and I took it. Shot was NOT great.....but she was down inside 35yds. Took her about 5 minutes to expire. Not knowing, I snuck out (never heard a sound from her) and went home to go out to dinner. When we returned, we all 3 went to track. I got a complete pass-thru from my WW head.....and she was right where I thought she was. Revovery took about 3 minutes.
What a thrill! I'll never forget it.
I want to again thank you ALL for fielding some of my sometimes (to you) monotonous questions along the way. She's part "yours". I can't thank you all enough.
We'll be back at 'em all week. And, I'll report if I'm successful, again. Right now....I need to get my buddies on one. THAT would make my week!
Again....thanks. You guys are an awesome crowd.
