As the end of the day neared, I picked my bow off the hanger and stood ever at the ready. I learned a long time ago that you can't shoot your bow if its hanging on a limb! I looked to my right and smallish doe was in the plot and feeding towards me. Jayne had suggested I shoot a deer tonight since its going to get down to 35 above. I had made up my mind to shoot when she bolted straight at me and ran right under my tree. WTF? Suddenly I hear a deer running at me from the left. A magnum doe runs in with her ears laid back and bleating! She runs just past my shooting lane and stands there looking pissed off! Then this huge fawn runs up and literally crawls on his belly under her and starts head butting her udder! He latched on and greedily drank. The doe tolerated it for about 20 seconds , high stepped over his head and walked around behind me. the fawn followed and doe proceeded to groom him for about 10 minutes! I had no shot but wouldn't have been able to do it if I had!
It was a fun walk back as I misplaced my headlamp. The best part of the day was this, no snakes!
