Happy New Deer! um I mean year
I am going to the gang party on Saturday so I wanted to get some woods time and New Years Day is a good time to do it. I headed up to the club determined to sit in 4. I got into the stand and I was the only one there (which is so nice). It was coldish, around 28 but windy as anything! My stand kept creaking so much that I actually was worried it may come down. I sat there from about 1:30 and then around 4:00 I had a deer come out of the thickets and snorted at me. I didn't see anything but the tail going away. I hadn't been moving and the wind was in my favor so I'm not sure how it busted me. After about 15 minutes, a group of 6 or so does came from the thickets and crossed the woods into the field. I watched the first one step out and noticed that the others were bigger so I waited. When the last one stepped into the field (they were walking towards the dip stand) I put the crosshairs right on the chest and let it bark. I saw her run up the hill about 30 yards and crash. I perfect angling away shot through the chest and out through the shoulder. That's how to start out the new year!
