I had a doe and 2 fawns coming to my food plot in the back yard at about 5:15. They were coming from straight in front of me. I got stood up and ready for the shot. Just as they went under a limb to enter the plot I drew my bow. Then all of a sudden a deer off to my right starts to blow. I didn't even know she was there. I was concentrating on the 3 in front of me, I hadn't noticed another doe enter the plot from my right. She caught me drawing and the gig was up. They all took a few bounds back into the woods and stomped and blew for a few minutes and then took off. Needless to say I didn't see any more deer after that.
that sucks. I had that happen 6-7 years ago gun hunting, but the stakes were higher.....a 160 class buck instead of a doe. Me thinks with your hunting spots, there'll be plenty of backstraps when the season comes to an end.
deja vu. Like I said over there, those cage, mature momma does can be worthy adversaries. At least your hunting John, I have two sleeps yet and I'll join you in the woods, well from across the country anyway. NC here we come. Good luck John, plant it and they will come.
Yea, that really bites, and of course they have to Western Union every deer in the county that they saw you. I had that happen w/a buck last yr. He wouldn't stop blowing for at least 15 minutes as he ran to other county. So I feel your pain. How the heck something that big just stand there, and we not notice them walk in?
Bummer, but.......I have this sneaking suspicion you're gonna get another crack at them...... Call me crazy.
