I was able to get out this evening for a hunt.I gathered my gear and started out the door. I stood for a minute in the yard thinking about which way and where to go. I`ve killed 4 does around my house and don`t want to shoot another of "my" deer.lol
I decided to go hunt a bottom a few miles down the road. A Neighbor has a large peanut field that has been flipped and gathered and the hay baled as well. The Deer are still coming though. I walked a long way behind the field and climbed in a bottom I killed a doe in about 15 years ago.
It was a nice afternoon not cold or hot and no skeeters. I heard Turkeys fly up and had an Owl land in a tree about 15 yards away. After a short stare down he flew away.I once had a Hawk almost take my bow out of my lap . It was after my Beaver fur silencers so I made sure I had my hand on it with the owl around.
As it got later maybe 5:30 I could hear walking. I first thought it was Turkeys because it was kinda spread out but instead it was deer. A big doe and yearling were going across in front of me to the left. I could hear another deer to my right and one almost under me. I barely moved to shoot a big doe and got caught by the deer under me. They all bounced a bit to my left....
The deer to my right had no clue what was up and walked across in front of me to go with the others. I picked a spot low in the chest and the Mohawk made that awful purty "thump". The deer ran hard for about 50 yards and all was quiet...
Almost to low on this one. The arrow hit the off side leg . Second deer I`ve killed with this arrow and Tigershark.
Deer # 10 for the year for me With 3 different longbows. Thank You Lord.RC
