its been pretty tough since i killed the doe. i have had deer get fairly close but either they wouldnt come in where i wanted em or they were too little. been eat up with spikes coming in on me and taunting me.
i started the evening out with a short dove hunt bout 3:30 -5:45. pretty slow there too, but i managed kill 5. after leaving the field about ten til 6 i got in the woods and settled in up on a ridge that is a big oak flat.
a little after seven i was brough back to life from my daydreaming state by the sound of a trotting deer. i looked to my right to see a spike ( turns out to be a cool little 5 pt) trotting to a big oak to get a few acorns. i grabbed my bow and got ready, never had a chance to stand up..which i like to do.
as he fed around i waited for him to come in and feed and calm a little before drawing. he kept his front leg tucked in keeping me from getting a good shot. finally he opened up and i drew and focused on my spot trying to push through ( didnt get all the way through again) and released. here's the results.
went agaist my morals today when i shot this one, but ready for more meat and in the swap they all eat good big or small!!!
3 pc plywood bow/ gt 35/55/ centaur head
deers and doves for me on 10/9/10!
