CONGRATULATIONS Dave!!!!!!!!!!  

[nashoba]

David that's so cool that you took her from the ground . As many times as I've tried to pull that off I've never had any luck, to me that ranks right up there with a huge buck you should be very proud .

Alright David way to go you rock.
So let me see so far that's Jim , Alex,Drew, and you, now Jim C. Bob B and I need one.
I keep telling myself in 30 seconds your whole season can change.

Nice going David. Maybe her boy friend will be around in the morning. Gerald I came close today passed a doe in the morning and huge doe and spike this afternoon begged me to kill them but I let them pass. A little while later a real nice 6 pointer that I think is 2.5 came in I couldn't take it so I decided to kill him. All he had to do was stay on the trail the doe and spike took and it was a 10 yard shot but he turns and comes directly towards me downwind at about 12 yards he hit my sent game over ( for today)

 Dave, I don't think you know what a bad year is hunting.........

[Stone Knife]

Nice going Dave, congratulations.

[Stumpkiller]

Nice doe, Dave.    

[longrifle]

So close Bob , so close.
If I had a dollar for every ALMOST shot I'd be rich.

Congrats on a beautiful doe

  Glad it came together today Dave. My wife and I hunted most of the day and saw just 1 small doe and a four point ; neither offered a shot. Looks like we might be hunting in the snow Sunday. Good luck to all.

[Catskill Longbow]

Good going Dave! I have decided to take a doe too if she comes into my zone. Last year I passed on 2, waiting for a buck, and never got another good shot. If I ever make it out this season those girls better beware!

[Sockrsblur]

Nice job David!!! Thats a great looking Doe! And you have a good buck on the hill too. That will het you out the door in the morning.
 

[wetfeathers]

Congrats Dave.  Smart play by taking your bow. You never know.

Good morning again. Had two yearlings under my stand at 8:00. 15 min. later had a spike come down the hill. I called him in with "The Can", had him dead to rights at 10 yrds. I let them all walk. No sign of the big guy. Have to get out and move a stand for next weekend.I have a new spot on the state land to set up for next weekend.I saw two bucks cross there last year. It's one of those overlooked spots.     Keep after them guys!!!

[Biggamefish]

Awesome job guys,  I almost had it come together.  I busted two out from right under my stand and then they came back at 830. The wind swirling and they were down wind so I thought game over. Never winded me ( sent control worked) or I got lucky. But they came in to about 20 yards. She needed a few more steps but that didn't happen she turned and wondered off.  Next time!

[Knawbone]

Scent control certainly does help Matt. I was scent controlled to the max this morning with swirling winds and not one deer spooked from under my stand. The spike horn crossed my path in more than once and never bugged an eye.

[drewsbow]

way to go David , nice deer

[drewsbow]

I had a smaller doe on the ground at ten yards this morning but let her walk, she had no idea I was even there

[swampbow2]

I mow a 3ft wide trail every August through some swampy brush to get to a oak cluster I like to use my climber in. I got a late start this morning and was getting there right at legal sunrise. I stopped in the path and unslung my Lone Wolf and as I was trying to figure which tree I was going in a forkhorn came trotting down the trail towards me. Bow in one hand and climber in the other I stood there as he pulled up to arms length from me. Finally he got a whiff and I could see his eyes roll as he went over backwards and hauled out of there ! Fun wow. Figured I was in the right spot but 4hrs in a tree and no more action. Maybe tonight.
