Perfect Day!
First time out(had to work til today) and it could not have been better. 33 degrees in So. Lycoming Co. this morning. 8 A.M. the wind changed direction and had a deer snort at me. Never saw it but there were more than one. 8:30 had a mature doe pick me out at about 30 yards, watched her put a show on for me (head bob,foot dance) and off she walked. 8:35 saw a bunch of deer coming straight at me(about 5 or 6). They all stopped under a big bush. Drew back and waited for one to step out. She stepped out and I nailed her at a mere 12 yards, deer ran everywhere! Took my stuff back to my truck. Found her about 10:00. My arrow took out the liver and a lung. She went 200 yards with only small drops of blood to follow. While I was gutting her I watched 2 huge doe walk right by me at about 35 yards. Never even saw me! They just walked and fed along. Found a fresh rub. Hope everyone has some luck! This is what I waited for ALL YEAR. All my hours of scouting and mowing trails paid off big time. Now I can relax and wait for that big buck!!! Because there is meat in the freezer.
