It was active late into the evening here.The huge rainy weather system has moved on now.We got close to 6" of rain the last 3 days.The long shadows disappeared and the witching hour commenced.Seen maybe 8 doe's tonight total.This one came by so quick evading the commotion going on it got close to right underneath me.A nice big buck was with them pushing them around about 40 to 50 yards away.There was just enough light to pick a spot and shoot.
Got into a stand where the wind was perfect on this shot.Did'nt get busted by any of the other deer initially,but they sure left when I shot this doe.
2 arrows loosed and 2 deer.1 more to go.
Shot a little high [probably 3" off] and spined her so no blood trail on this one either.This can happen shooting so close.Could definitely hear the arrow smack into her making contact and the sound of her thumping onto the ground too.She dropped on the spot.Had to get down later and do the dasterdly deed.It's happened to me before.
Some more good meat/hide and sinew.I'll make the best of it.
Same bow and another 600+ grained dogwood.Got to save this arrow this time.Not that it's a big deal anyway.Plenty of different ways an arrow is saved besides a pass through but while hunting it's not a priority.A pass through the vitals is.It leads for an easier blood trail to follow.
1 more tag to fill with the bow.It's an any sex tag.Weather is holding up fine yet except for the wind.Just need to dress accordingly.The corn is still in the field here and a lot of good sign along it.Although it'll be a while till they get this corn out after all of this rain recently.At least a week.
3 turkeys cruised by too.All 3 were hens.I still have my turkey tag.
Post script....This deer produced 55 pounds of deer meat.Bringing total to 115 pounds so far.
A picture from the deers' view where she was standing when shot.12 to 13 foot high.Leaves are gone now.It was a bit more camoflauged earlier.
