Nice there's something to be said about being able to out smart an old doe.

Speaking of old doe's. I had a big ol gal come by my ground blind 25 yrds out this morning. She kept going down hill, so I gave a few fawn bleats and within a few minutes she came back. Had her at 10 yrds but she stopped short of my shooting lane. She hung around for a few minutes until she caught a little of my scent. She didn't freak out,but stomped and blew lightly a couple times and walked off. Iv' seen this Doe before during turkey season. She's a toad. I told her.......I'll be back!!!!! I was hunting with my primitive gear.

thanks for posting the pic izzy, my cousin owns some land in columbia county.went in at dark waited for light found a good tree to climb, after jumping six deer. 10 mins go by and two more does come by the big one comes under my stand. she gets 4 yards from the stand and auto pilot kicks in. next thing i know shes running off with my arrow sticking out of her. shooting a 58 at 28 i was surprised i didnt get a pass through. even though i thought the shot was alittle to far back. i gave her 3 hrs and after talking things over with a few friends, we decided i  must had hit a couple of ribs. the blood trail started out sparce but costant. after about 80 yards the blood picked up quite a bit. another 20 yards and i found my deer. the arrow had taken out the liver and one lung and had hit the of side leg bone so know pass thur. should be a good tasting deer seening she had been eating soy beans all summer

Nice deer guys,anybody finding any scrapes yet?Found a huge one this morning it was 8yds from one of my new ground blinds.

[Knawbone]

Scrapes yes, but only from the usual gung ho first year bucks. Little early yet for the big boys. Instinct scrapes, that's what I call them.   :cool:

Too warm and windy today so I raked leaves for 3 hours. An hour from now you won't be able to tell the difference but at least I tried. I shot a small doe Sunday. I needed to get out of watcher mindset and into hunt mode. Lately I find myself having a hard time focusing on the killing and without that intensity I am more likely to mess it up gawking when the moment arrives. Getting soft I guess (hope it aint low T !!). Anyway I made a long for me 25 yard heart shot on a broadside doe and watched her fall. Hopefully I'll have a buck story soon. Good luck to all.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I have seen 6 scrapes so far.

Warm sit this morning. I was surprised the deer were moving as much as they were.

Now if their hearts were in their butts, I would be eating venison tonight.

Other than the Moose River hunt, I've seen nothing but the three walls of my cubical at work

 Good one Ken, If their hearts were in their Butts, I would have shots most years, They even hold their tail up to provide a clear shot lol.
