Thanks for posting guys.  Those are some nice bucks Lumberman.  That bachelor group should be splitting up soon.

I skipped hunting today so we could finish setting up the rest of our stands and a couple ground blinds.  We were putting a hang on stand up next to a ladder stand when I noticed this little doe eating acorns 30 yards away and watching us the entire time.  She got as close as 25 yards away while we were working. 

bjrogg:
Funny how when your hunting you don't see any but when your working you do.
   I went out this afternoon sat in one of my fence row stands. Got out about 3:45 about 4:30 a group of younger deer came towards me from neighboring woods. They grazed in the nieghbors hay field and even layed down for awhile. There was a spike and a 4 point that spared for a bit then they slowly made there way to cornfield to my north. Finally about 30 min before dark a doe and 2 fawns came out of corn then another deer couldn't make out what it was but they slowly grazed in my clover heading east away from me. I was watching them when I heard something to my south. I was in a pine tree, I planted these trees 21 years ago this spring. It was hard to see her but a doe was right on the edge of the trees coming toward me. I got ready and let arrow go right as she past me. She was right under my stand walking away a little to close. I saw the arrow hit her a little to high and forward. It was getting close to dark but I think it hit her in the shoulder blade. She ran off and I saw the arrow fall after about 20 yards. I was sure it wasn't a lethal  wound, not much else I could do but wait a bit. I climb out of my stand and looked for blood and found none but it was dark and in a clover field. I found my arrow missing the stone point, with a little blood and hair on it. I'll look in morning but I'm not very hopeful of finding anything. I'm a little bummed I didn't wake a better shot was just off a little bit but that's all it takes.

Those darn close under ya shots get me to shoot high too.The vitals window is a lot smaller then too.You'll see her again later on if you don't think it penetrated deep enough.At least your getting your licks in already.
