BowEd:
Lumberman...Your in buck heaven there.Congrats.
BowEd:
The most bucks I've ever seen close to shooting range was 5 and 4 does to boot all chasing each other around like heathens.I never did get a shot that evening....lol.
bjrogg:
I love watching them when there all grouped up, but it might be a nightmare trying to shoot one with a bow then. Sure is fun to watch em though. The most I've seen together (they weren't in bow range) was 13 bucks I could tell for sure with the naked eye, there were several more deer but couldn't tell what they where.

BowEd:
Yes it's enjoyable and entertaining at the same time.Educational too while not getting a shot.A person can get first hand experience from them encounters about things like types of grunt noises made in the heat of the action.The bleat noises made getting between a doe and her fawn that are seperated.All attractants to get them to let their guard down.
I watched 7 bucks from my tractor wear this doe out once to the point she just layed down on her belly.
OO.....Some things don't change,but I bet after gun season she won't be so approachable.

I looked for any sign this morning and didn't find anything. I'm sure she's not hurt bad unless she would get infection. I'm sure arrow only penetrated a inch or maybe 2. I talked to one of my buddies this morning he basically did the same thing with his compound on a the biggest buck he ever shoot at. Found arrow with about 5" broken off and no blood. He's really upset thinks arrow my have penetrated deep enough for mortal wound. Guess it can happen at 300+ feet per second to.

PS Ed I love watching them weather it from my tractor or hunting it's allways nice to observe the wild creatures and learn their ways
