Put a stalk on this morning
« on: September 20, 2014, 11:32:00 AM »
Started on stand with no luck, or patience.  :)
Went creeping around the woods, checking stands, looking for sign, and enjoying the morning. Id go a little, stop, look, sit, lean and so on.
The fog this morning made for soft steps and it worked. I snuck to a thick patch and squatted down to look. I saw ears, like radars, turning in the tall grass about 30 yards away.

I needed to be closer, so I eased forward.
I was able to close the gap to 15 when I SPOTTED another bedded doe. I sat and watched for probably five minutes.

I got into position and was ready for a shot, but the grass was covering the vitals. I grabbed a twig off the ground and snapped it ever so softly.
Well that got their attention and two perfectly matched, twins stood up, spots and all.
All I could do was smile as they walked off.

A change of plan and a faster heartbeat(I bet).
Nice one, Dave. Next time, maybe something bigger.

Very cool. Before my kids came along, I used to still hunt and had many similar instances (as you describe) where I would be on the deer so close that seemingly I could reach out and touch them. I really loved doing that. Probably couldn't do it now  :(
Congratulations to you.... Good read  :)

Cool story.  Thanks for sharing it.  It sure is tough to pick a spot when they have so many!  :^)  -John
