Doe Down!

[blgoode]

Having No Deer movement in the location I normally use I decided to mix it up and relocate a hang on stand I have into a location that is just on the outskirts of thick bedding cover. The tree I picked is a great tree and I see me using it next season for sure. Its tucked away inside a shallow "U" area and gives me a great 18-30 yard shooting opportunity if a deer comes through.

Here is a view of the shooting area.

This shows the tree with some cover built in and cant be maintained if I were using a climber

Had a nanny doe and her yearling come through at 5:15 I was pumped up. Took a while for the nanny to come into my range but 10 minutes later I had a broadside shot and let my Hoyt EAT!!!

Tracking took LONG on this deer but I Just knew she was dead at how much blood I was finding.

I clocked the distance she ran from the shot and it was 100 yards exactly!

She smacked this tree and slid into HOME PLATE!

Entrance wound

Exit wound

I don't drag deer out of my this area after pulling my back badly on one last year. Gutted and Fit into my Mystery Ranch Crew Cab makes easier work walking the deer out.

Another shot of the deer in my back pack

That was super fun and put another deer in my freezer! Love it when you plan and the outcome is successful.

Nice doe BLG; I'm surprised you haven't come over here to Gastonia and picked up a Whisker Biscuit. I went out yesterday for about 2 miles of snooping and sign reading on a friend's 40 acres. Found two really nice scrape series, both freshly worked, and one consisted of ten scrapes. That boy might go home with me. I went back there looking for coyote sign, or if lucky, a chance to pop one, but only found three piles of scat and old tracks in the dried mud. I did find bear sign where a rotten log was torn all to hell and scattered about. A sow and cub have been spotted within a half mile, so no more scouting trips without my 44 M, the 9mm won't cut it.

Damn man. Where are you hunting? Sounds like a killer spot!
