We'll no blood spilt tonight, but an exciting hunt just the same. Was up in a ladder stand in a water oak flat where the trees were no taller than 20' and very thick cover
This border a CRP field of planted oats that was overgrown. The stand had not been hunted since last year and need some shooting lanes cleared up.
My farest shot would be about 15 yards max after cutting out the lanes. My fatal mistake was in not removing the cuttings from the trail. At the bewitching hour 2 does came in from behind me and would have offered a quartering away shot except for those cut limbs.
The lead doe locked up on them and would not walk past them. She stayed behind and to my far left with brush alway between us.
All in all a very good day, seen 10 bucks and 6 does and also had a group of hogs come through but no shot opportunity.
