What Did You Do Today?
Eric Krewson:
Time to take the electric fence down from around my deer food plot and invite the deer in to feed.
I had a huge water bill because if almost 2 months of drought, the deer will have plenty to eat.
I need to get out the leaf blower, this time of year I have to blow the plot off twice a week so the wheat and oats can get sunlight.
Eric Krewson:
The plot was turned into almost bare ground in a couple of weeks. I didn't think they were still coming to it until I put a trail camera out, they are still covering it up at night.
Yesterday morning I was in my ground blind at daylight, a fat doe came out on the plot about 6:10. It was barely light enough to see my sights, when I shot, I was blinded by the pan flashing and didn't know if I hit her or not. I went out looking for blood.
She started doing cartwheels down the hill and only went 10' off the plot.
I used my over the hill old guy deer retrieval vehicle to get her up to the house.
bjrogg:
Congratulations on a successful hunt Eric. I think I would have a hard time holding steady with the flash in my eyes. Looks like a good shot

Eric Krewson:
I had a slight hangfire, she had time to scoot back a little, I was holding behind the shoulder, got one shoulder and messed up some meat, dang.
My trail camera has a slow shutter speed so everything is a blur but caught the deer a millisecond after I shot her, this is when she started doing cartwheels down the hill into the woods.
PEARL DRUMS:
Congrats Eric, nice shot. I'm still hunting for #11 caps for my old TC Hawken. Cant find a dang thing locally and wont buy off the web for 8 million dollars and 2 million in shipping. That is exaggerated, but that's what it feels like.
