went out yesterday morning for a few hours and seen three, one was a nice ten pointer.
but I only have a doe tag, so he was off the menue but it was good to see him.
then went back out for the last couple hours of the day, and just as I stepped from the truck I seen one up on the hill moving towards me down thru the valley. I started towards the bottom where I could get a shot.
I got close enough, but for some reason I just didn't shoot, then the wind gave me away.
so on to my stand I went, sitting in the stand im watching the thick area where I thought the buck had bedded, and at 4:30 I see him step out of the thick stuff just long enough to see him.
then another deer body in the distance.
nothing real close, but a nice evening in the stand.
so comes this morning. seen two as I was leaving the truck, one was a little buck I think.
it was soooo quiet on stand .
we were getting light snow on top of what we already had on the ground.
I was in my stand for an hour when I seen a deer step out from under the cedars.
A DOE...but she wasn't coming my way, she was 70 yds. away and moving away from me.
so I gave a soft grunt with my voice, and that got her attention enough to bring her ten yds. closer, then she started drifting away from me again.
so I gave her two more real soft grunts, and shes on her way.
closer.......closer.....
she started out at the bottom of the hill.
then she was about 6-7 yards from my tree.
close enough for me..
the only thing that kept my arrow from going completely through was it hit the frozen ground on the other side of her.
in this picture you can see my arrow where it fell out the far side. between the little cedar and the big one.
she was clearing 15-18 foot when she made her death run. and I heard her crash within seconds of the shot. not a great blood trail but in the snow, you see stuff you wouldn't see in dry leaves and grass.
zoomed in from my stand.
