After chasing out tresspasser after tresspasser last year, figuring out some deer movement and adding some mineral sites this summer and a few feed blocks...I finally got some deer on camera at this property...some good ones for my area as well as twin fawns!...couldn't have been happier.
I snuck in around 6pm last evening, and bumped 2 deer out as I got withing 20yds of my stand...after they were gone, I climbed up and started to pull my bow up when I realized the hoist rope was stuck on my bottom climbing stick...So I unhook, get down and untangle it and start over...just sat down with my bow on the hanger and saw a tail flickering...Shut up!, I thought I bumped everything out...Well, she ran around me to the south and stopped perfectly broadside just east of me (my left from the stand) and I let the first arrow fly...hit her hard, in the rib cage, might be a little high and a little farther back than I wanted, but after checking the arrow there is bright red blood on the fletchings and it doesn't smell like shit, so I'm hoping it punched the top of her lungs...Yes, I haven't found here yet, but I think I will...just have to check harder where I think she was bedding down.
