So, I got a brand new Sarrels Blueridge longbow about a month ago, and I have been dieing for archery season to get here so I could properly christen her! I got in the blind this morning with high hopes, as I have had tons of game camera pics from this setup. I sat down in the blind about an hour before sunrise, and waited for the woods to wake up. That is always one of the coolest parts of the morning hunt for me!
As soon as I got situated, it started sprinkling, and I thought to myself "Man, that rain is loud hitting the metal roof on this blind!".
It soon quit, and daylight was approaching fast!
I did not see anything for quite a while. It was long enough that I texted a buddy, telling him I was a bit disappointed. As soon as I put the phone down after that text, I looked out the window to see a deer head bobbing in the high grass, and coming my way!
Turns out there were 3 deer. A big doe and her 2 fawns. When they got close enough, I could tell that the fawns were plenty old enough, as their spots had all but disappeared!
The doe worked right up to within 12-13yds, but was not facing in a good way for a shot. That's when the rain started again! This time it was a little harder, and obnoxiously loud. Every time a loud bang on he roof would happen, the doe would look up straight in my direction. After just a minute of that, she could not stand it, got too nervous, and left with her two little ones in tow!
I again texted my buddy that I thought that doe had an angel on her shoulder that told her to skedaddle! I continued playing on the phone for a while, checking every few minutes. Well, one time I looked up, and there is a big old doe standing right in front of the blind. I don't know where she came from but the game was on again! This doe did not have any fawns either.
