Deer hunting update.
DBernier:
Well DanaM, I'm with you on that but it is still hard. The photo shows the two Does. The one furthest away is the one I shot at. The blind is between the two trees with the netting. It's 6:45am and I guess the boys and I will give it another try. I will do a little still hunting. The ground is very quiet right now. Maybe if we find her I can still save the hide and feet if she is out there. I was so looking forward to those steaks etc. Well there is always tonight and tomorrow morning. Got permission, he actually begged me to hunt the area, to get a few off of his property. Nice area and great for bows. Lot of hard wood and wide open. Next shot I will aim a "little" higher. ;)

Good point. Canopy is heavy but will still be on the lookout.

The deer moved earlier than expected tonight.... 'round 4:45 had a spike and a button buck come down the river bank on the opposite side from me, just behind my stand. They drank from the river and acted as if they'd cross 60 yards upriver from me but next thing I knew they were back on the sandbar across the river.
Just after those two disappeared three does (two mature and this years) came through in front of me, close enough to shoot but moving along a little too quickly. I whistled and saw the lead deer stop but didn't have a shot as she was behind some branches. Still pretty darned exciting !!

Dick: I wouldn't get too bummed about that, though sounds like youv'e had a good long standing record. Eventually it happens to all us (hunters) - if ya do your best to no avail, all the little critters reap the rewards - dust to dust.
