The sun was quite high yet when below the Bwana stand, down the ridge I see the heads of three deer which ultimately turn into five deer coming up to the rape field. At first it looked like they would come up the exact path I needed them on to get a close shot. But at 20 yards they veered slightly to the left and came out in a spot where I had no shot. After a short stop they headed into the rape field just outside of my comfort range. The one big doe had triplets. She was easily the largest doe I have ever seen in thirty years of bow hunting. The only word that fits the bill is one my eight year old grand daughter uses, GINORMUS!
I think she is the same doe as in the trail camera photo I posted last week. I needed her to work her way to the right about 15 yards. They were feasting on the Rape leaves. Finally one of them caught me moving , maybe got a whiff of me or something. But first the smaller doe headed back into the timber, followed by the triplets and finally Ginormus left the field as well. She was so big I had begun to get big buck fever. Perhaps I should say big doe fever!
As the sun set another deer appeared to my right on the very edge of plot. A buck. Either a six point or an eight point. It was hard to tell with the fading light. I waited until he had fed out of sight by going over the hill and tried to quietly slip away. I don't think I got away with it.
here is a look as the great colors I enjoyed tonight.
