brad,
like i just told you, at least you're seeing deer/getting to go..... the times i've been i've pretty much been snakebit, and i've been going in good places, tons of sign...... saw a nanny and two yearlings sunday morning, they come in over my left shoulder and bed down 30 yards from me but it's too thick to get a shot... i start to make the stalk and about a billion wood ducks get up off the water and spook the hell out of them and they take off...
Sun rise in the east.... and it sets up in the West, yes the sun rise in east baby, and it sets up in the west..... It's hard to tell, hard to tell, hard to tell, which one, which one I love best.....
. First shot was a cull 7 pt that me and dustin walked up on coming out of the woods on a morning hunt. Hit a limb, deflected, no penetration, deer has now relocated to memphis. Second one was a 40 yd shot, dont know what happened, just shot low (brisket) for some reason. Third one, decided before i even left the camp that i was going to be more patient and focused during the period between the draw and the shot. 20 min after being in the stand had 4 does start to feed toward us. Within the next 35 min i had broadside or quartering away shots at 30 to 35 yards but just felt like they were going to eventually browse towards us and give a higher percentage shot at like 20 or 25yds. Finally they started easing our way so i take one last range and right as im drawing a small 8 pt comes trottin in from my left and ends up spookin the doe a few yards off and now (of course) shes on pins and needles. Long story short....i took the shot, she drops 4-5 inches (i was a little high anyway), hit her in the no zone, it gets better.......bitch runs off with $15 of broadhead and arrow. I came really close to tryin a bo jackson with a mathews sat afternoon 
Anyway just needed to vent
