Sitting in my chair on the edge of a 15 yard wide travel corridor between a bean and corn field. Just settled in and starting to check my cards I grabbed on the way in. Some people need a beach to get away, I need this.

Well, they got the best of me. I sat until 745 without seeing anything. I heard a couple cracks and looked over to see two does both looking at me through the thick brush about 15 yards from me. Those ladies stomped their feet and blew at me for 10-15 minutes! I was able to ready myself as they inched closer, but at 10 yards one decided she was about to be dinner and they bolted. I’ll be sticking a stand out there in the next couple days, and will leave the spot be for a week or so.
Exciting first hunt! Glad I tried out that spot!

Those does have given me fits, especially the matriarch. They hang around her for a reason. It is really a treat to knock her down.

Made it all the way to the last tree that was going to prevent my shot before booking it. Probably could have taken her through a couple gaps, but I didn’t want to chance it. Plenty of time left to do it right.
