Had 4 does come in this morning. There is a huge doe and twins in these woods, and when I saw the twins I got excited! Turns out it was a 2 year old doe and twins plus a tag-along, and they came all the way to 20. They were in not the greatest spot to shoot with the neighbor and the biggest doe never gave me a perfect shot, so I passed. Pretty sure the one was within 15 yards. Never a bad thing to have a young doe throwing twins around and as Jim texted this morning, a clean pass that you know could have been a dead deer might as well be a kill. When they turned and ran, the tag-along stayed for 2-3 minutes, so fairly certain it was a lonely button.
About 40 minutes later, I heard the guys way out behind me open up. Waited the usual 5 minutes, and sure enough a deer came crashing into the woods and stopped at 20 yards. Little 3 point. Poor guy had his tongue stickin out and looked bushed from the running! He walked over to my chair and I fed him a few cheetoes while I scratched his ears and told him where to go lay down, and that he was safe! hahahaha
Gonna sit tonight with the smokepole. If the adjacent woods get pushed today (high chance), I have a good feeling I'll see something. If not, that's alright too. I'm hoping for a fat momma!
Great morning in the woods...this was the same spot where I shot my buck on Opening Mornings, so between both mornings, I saw 9 deer before 9am. Too bad the woods were dead when I was there with my bow!
