Was in my stand last night when movement caught my eye off to my right. After a few seconds I saw it was a yearling. She came right up and walked out in front at 15 yards. I snapped a photo on my phone of her and then stuffed it back in my pocket. She proceeded into the corn field and began eating. I kept an eye out from the direction she came expecting mama at any time. I stood and stuffed my bottom bow tip in the top of my boot.
After about 5 minutes I noticed more movement through the cedars. Here she came. She came through at 10 yards in front of me and I couldn't stand it. She stopped and looked away at a noise and I quickly made my move. The shot was off and looked like a heart shot. I walked out as my arrow didn't go all the way through.
I went back this morning and hunted another stand and saw nothing. At 10 am got down and went to find the doe. Found her 80 yards from the stand where I saw her enter the woods. The arrow went through low just over the front leg and through her heart and broke her opposite leg and is the reason it stopped.
About 30 minutes after she ran off I had another one come up the same way. The weirdest deer I think I've ever seen. This thing had a head the size of a mule and had to weigh 250 pounds. He had two 5" spikes coming out of his bean that were pretty massy. I suppose it was a really old deer.
