Awesome hunt and story, Mike! Hope he can connect in the next few days, but if not he's still getting great experience with dear ol dad.
We has action again. Broadside at 35 yards. Just a bit far for him yet. She moved to 30 but got down wind and boogered real fast.
We was all smoked up. I'm not sure what happened, but she never hesitated and took off as soon as she got our wind.

Could be that it was one of the does that came in last night. Although she didn't smell you directly, she may now be associating the smoke with danger, due to an arrow wizzing by her last night. Try it again tomorrow, but don't take the smoker.
Sorry to hear about the miss, but glad he is getting after them still. Hang in there. Still a little time left!
First off, everyone... Thanks for the encouraging words all season and following along. Me and the boys appreciate it!
Greg, you know, that never even crossed my mind. I think next time out we will switch up our clothes and try scent free or another cover scent for that reason.
We very well could have boogered her up with all the action yesterday.

What he said. Sounds like Old Scout has some experience with the stuff Mike. Maybe you should listen to him?mischeif.gif
Last hunt of the season. Kody didn't feel like going, which is very unusual, but he's hunted 7 days straight.
Klay says, "I'll go!" So, with doe tag in hand we toted the Xbow out to the tent.
Klay is the gunner tonight.

Almost... agian. LMAO! I'll be getting the metal detector out whan the snow melts to try and find these arrows in the field. Ha ha ha...
Long story short, Klay had a doe at 15 yards. He was up and ready, I give him the distance and tell him to shoot when ready. He squeezes one off and then says, "oh no!"
He proceeds to tell me he aimed off the 30 yard dot in his scope. I asked him how he mangaed that one and he said, "I panicked! It's been awhile."
LMAO! Well, we've had fun the last few days. that's all that matters.
