This morning I sat in the same stand I sat in yesterday evening. I thought it would produce last night, but a bobcat decided to take a catnap about 20 yards in front my stand right around prime time and kept the deer away, I think. So I climbed back in it this morning. I saw little to no action until 8:30ish, and then it was only a lone, young doe. She hung around for a while, and whenever she presented me with a 13 yard quartering away shot, I couldn't resist. I slowly drew and let the arrow fly. Freakin' smoked her. I watched her run 25 yards and crash like a sack of rocks. I texted my buddy who was hunting about 300 yards away that I had a doe down. I just nocked another arrow and stayed in the stand, since he was still hunting and said he had a few deer around him. So I sat and waited. I looked at the deer through the binocs like 50 times and just sat there enjoying life:d. Low and behold, 20 mins later I hear some leaves crunching behind me. I look up to see a good looking mature doe working her way toward me from the same direction. The reason I wasn't expecting them from that direction is because it was directly downwind of me. I guess my scent control practices are paying off. It took me about 5 seconds to decide if I would take a shot oppurtunity..I would. The only reason I considered shooting a second deer is because I knew I would not have to track the first one, otherwise I would have passed her up. She walked a circle around me and presented me with a 20 yard broadside shot, and both her lungs paid dearly. She ran barely out of my sight (about 35 yards) and I heard her crash to the ground. It took longer to find my arrows than to find both deer:d Here are some pics My arrow from my first shot. The heart from the young doe, sliced through the middle. And the trophies:d Oh and BTW: I got a chance to put my Magnus Stingers to the test this weekend (A yote and 2 does). I am VERY impressed
