Deer hunting update.
lowell:
Hunted this morning... probably the last time this season. Was hunting on the ground and enjoying myself. Was about 40 yards from one of my tree stands.
Saw 3 deer walk under that stand and every one looked up at the stand just as if they were taught to look both directions before they crossed a street, they were also taught to look up at a tree stand before they went under it!! ;D

They get that way this time of year, gotta Rambo out and bury yourself in a bank of mud ;D. Can't wait for bow season next year - I'll be more prepared and ready (while their still ignorant) of hunters. Taking the daughter huntin next weekend (I hope) for the last youth season (does only). Hopefully we'll (or she'll) connect with something....

I went this evening and killed my first deer with a selfbow. I never had much trouble killing a deer with my other recurves and longbows but with my selfbow, man it's been tough! It seems like every time i've had deer in range they've always been facing me or some odd angle besides broadside. I've even had a few too close to shoot.
Since our rifle season has been over, i've had a lot of trouble just seeing deer, much less getting a shot. The one I got this evening was just a yearling doe but i'm just as proud of her as I would be a nice buck. It was about a 10 yard shot through her liver and the back of her left lung. I waited 30 min. and checked the trail for about 10 yards. I had good blood right off so I kept following it and found her about 50 yards from where I shot her. ;D ;D ;D
I just started making bows this past spring and since then have made four bows from one particular log and 3 of them have taken a deer this fall. That tree had some good mojo in it! I'm sending wvflintknapper a stave from it, maybe it will be lucky for him too.
Our season is over next Monday and I still have one more doe tag so who knows, maybe i'll get lucky again. :)
cowboy:
Way to go Shannon - yeah, sounds like you got some serious mojo goin on there. Congrats on the deer you've taken - I'm only hoping to take my first with my own equipment next year ;).
Ryano:
