Yesterday was awesome, wasn't it? The morning was a little windy, but that's ok. The afternoon was just perfect. I got in the stand early- about four, maybe that's not early to some of you, but it is to me. It didn't take long before I started seeing deer. A few here and a few there- the bucks are chasing does ninety-to-nothin at my little patch so you never know what might zip past you. I was watching two yearling twins just before dark when I heard some leaves crunching and becoming louder as the doe making the noise got closer to me. She was coming from my right, so I scooted sideways in my stand to get into position. I shoot sitting down- so I have eliminated the "bend at the waist" problem all together. She wasn't far off, and when she got quartering the way I like, I drew and let it go. When the arrow hit I knew she wouldn't make it very far and she got wobbly in less than 40 yards. Down for good in less than 60. It don't always happen like that, but I'm thankful when it does. Nobody likes to be on their hands and knees with a flashlight all night long. I don't anyway. Thank you Lord for something else to put in the freezer and the Health and means to do what I love to do.... Not bad for a "has been"- and I'm not done.
