I BLEW it this morning, I turned my head to my left too fast and there was a doe just staring at me. After a few seconds she looked away and walked up the hill quartering towards me. When she walked behind a tree I drew my bow and waited for her to clear the tree. She never did... stuck her head out and watched me for what seemed like a long time. After an eternity I had to let the bow down and when I did she blew and ran back down the hill... that's when I saw that she had two grown fawns with her. Poo! She then circled me and when she got my scent made a hobby out of blowing and alerting every deer in the area. Jim  |

Been there many times! For a quick cure of the Huntin' blues, Dr. Squatch prescribes the following:
Go get one pass-thru and call me in the morning.
