Method:
Bow, Ross CR334 On Oct. 10th, Matt, mark and I headed to Clark county to help Joe and his father clean up the cabin, move some stands, and clear trees and cut firewood. Before the work started, we were able get out for a morning hunt. Considering it was the first time I was sitting in a deer stand this year, the weather was perfect. Just cool enough in the morning to put something light on and be warm enough. There was a lite wind, not even enough to make a difference. I chose to go to the ladder stand on Bono's property. Once I got to the stand I had about twenty minutes before daylight. It sure felt good to be back in the woods, listening to the trees, birds, and even nice to see about couple hundred squirrels. Daylight was arriving the wind picked up a little, it was coming from my right which was perfect. About 7:30 in the morning a little fawn darted from the way I was hoping deer were going to come from. It appeared as if it was spooked, but not to long after that I spotted another fawn and doe in the distance. They seemed to be just fine, as they watched the fawn do about three laps around me. It was about 7:45 when I was able to identify what I was really looking at, It was a doe and two fawns. For the first time being out this was great, just being able to see deer was good enough for me. As I watched them, the doe moved into shooting range. By this time it was full daylight. I sat patiently, heart pounding, waiting for the perfect opportunity to draw back my Ross. The doe moved in to 35 yards but she was in too much cover for me to take the shot. At 7:55 I drew and took a 25 yard shot at her through a tiny window she gave. The shot felt good, a little high but good. I gave her 30 minutes and then got out of the stand and searched for her. After tracking a short blood trail I found her lying 75 yards from where I released my arroow. A perfect hunt to start a perfect weekend, now that I bagged a deer it was time for work. The season is already looking up. |
