So I went Thursday to sit in a stand for an evening hunt. I worked late Wednesday so I left a bit early from work Thursday around 3:30. I grabbed my gear and heading out to my honey hole. I pulled up hooked up my stuff and headed out. I reached my tree around 4pm and spent the next 10 minutes climbing up until I was situated. I had just enough time to nock an arrow when I looked to my left and saw a button buck about 15 yards facing toward me away eating acorns. How he didn't see me I don't know but I'll take luck any day. I didn't have a shot from my seated position so I was content letting him eat and walk closer. He kept looking over his shoulder so I figured there was another deer with him. Looking into the woods behind him I was straining looking for another deer. As I leaned out a bit to get a better look at the area he was looking at I saw out of my peripheral vision a doe walk right under my tree. I didn't have time to get nervous. I watched her walk out to about 12 yards, she turned quartered away, I picked a spot, and let er fly. It was blood trail was so easy I think a blind man could have followed it.
Here's the first blood after the shot. It was her first step after the hit.
Here's the arrow after it passed through.
Here's how I found her 30 yards away.
Here's the insides after gutting her.
Here's the entry hole.
