On the board finally

Post by robertyb »

I set up in an area I had a camera on seeing lots of does coming into acorns starting to fall. At 7:35 AM I had 2 very large does come in and each had 2 small fawns with them so I gave them both a free pass. At 8:15 AM I saw a medium size doe heading my way and then another about the same size coming up behind her so I figured I was looking at two 1 1/2 YO does without fawns. That turned out to be the case and the larger one started feeding on a few dropped acorns direct down wind of me and behind me. I eased up and got turned around in my climbers and shot her free hand at 18 yards. She ran almost 50 yards and took a dirt nap. I had her gutted out, dragged, loaded and in the cooler by 10 AM. :)
Only pic I got as I was hunting alone.

Good eats!!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
