I don't think it's been any kind of a secret this last week or so had been pretty slow. Tonight it all changed..
Was in my stand and ready to go by 430. At 530 I had a Momma doe and 2 fawns come in. They milled around for awhile, the fawns bedded down at one point, they were no further than 30yrds. They moved on and out, no sooner than they left to my north I see movement. Three more does making their way right at me. They take the trail to my east, and pass at 30yrds and enter cut bean field. As I'm watching the last doe come thru I see movement a little further to the east, 2 more mature does. I make the decision then I'm taking one of them. The lead to cuts south and enters the bean field with the other. The following doe decided to keep her path and pass me at 20yards. I shoot, make what looked to be a good shot and she bolts off. I never hear her crash. I back out and give her almost 2 hours. Called in a buddy and we took to tracking. She didn't make it but 50yrds and piled up, not sure how I didn't hear it! In all saw 8 does, only 7 run free tonight. That makes my second this year. I'm laying off the does for now and concentrating on a buck from here on out til at least late season. May take one more then if the wife doesn't have any luck.
They are out there fellas, Hang in there.
