Live From The Tree
Oh why not?

I’m at the lease in southern IL for the opener. Have a few hours of freedom and figured I’d try to kill a doe or 11. Probably hunt till 10, do a little stand maintenance and haul booty back to the house for a slice of pizza a cold beer and some football.

I’m in a ladder sitting on a tiny woods opening with standing late beans to the north and bedding all around.

It’s a cool 59 with a 4mph iffy ene breeze in my left ear. I say ifffy because of the N part. That may hurt me.

Still a half hour before breaking light altho the moon is wide open so it may come quicker. Good luck everyone hanging on the sides of trees.

Service is garbage so pics don’t seem to be loading

Bust out the grill.. Doe down.

After a stare down she went ahead and moved out front and to my left. Had to shoot sitting down. Shot felt and sounded great.

I think she crashed 40 or so out in front of me, but ya know how that goes when leaves are still hanging on.

Sip o coffee a banana and one more doe would be good.

Can’t get pics to load anymore.
