A couple weeks ago, this young doe was giving me fits by hanging out behind my tree for almost an hour.
She eventually turned downhill and angled away from me. I didn't have a clear opportunity until she got to 33 yards. The TOTA found its mark and she didn't make it out of sight.
Four days later, three doe came by about five minutes after sunset. They passed at 32 yards. If you look close, you can see the lighted nock stuck in a tree behind where the deer was standing. If you look real close, you can see her belly. It's one of the white spots slightly uphill and just left of the second big oak to the left.
Packed for the largely downhill drag.
Yesterday was the last day of our archery season. I watched this buck slip through the woods and turn toward my son. He was at full draw for more than a minute before taking a bad shot. After tracking more than 200 yards, we jumped the buck so we backed out. We went back late in the afternoon and ended up finding him about 300y from the point of impact. He put a wide expandable through one lung. The deer lasted a while in that condition.
We're having one of our best years ever through this date. We've got a lot of muzzleloader and rifle season to go.
