Shades Doe

Scored on a doe Monday Morning 11/26/07 at the Shades State Park reduction hunt. Shot her at 11:00am. She came running up full tilt out of a ravine and I stopped her by bleating with my mouth and of course she stopped with her body hidden right behind a huge tree. She kept peeking around the tree at me from 25 yards, I was in a pop up blind, as it was nasty cold rain all day Monday. She kept doing the head bob move at me staring at the blind. If she went straigth away from me I would have no shot, so at mid head bob, i took the shot at her neck from front on and she must have just started to bob back down as i caught her in the lower jaw and into her neck. Dropped on the spot of course. I dont like taking a shot like that but at close range I felt i could make it. That was the only deer I saw all day. When we checked in today they took a total of 51 out of Shades on day 1. Shots were few and far between today, we saw 0 deer, It was a pretty day though! Back to work tommorrow, good luck to everyone. Goodyz71
