    She"s Still Alive, I have overcome cold, frozen trees,rain, wind, other hunters, but for the last 5 seasons, there is this Big doe that has my number!! I call her the watcher.. She always looks, up 5 steps and scans the trees, and 5 more steps.. I hunt about 150 acres and have tried to hunt her from 30 ft, on the ground, in a blind, in the snow, everything, always, get picked off!! Its personal by now and she has become a trophy in her right, more so than the bucks i"ve taken. Used to think I could out live her but I"m not even sure of that at my age. I am not a careless hunter and do all the tricks, but the curse is on me. (Guess what I want for x-mas) . Ya im sure its her,:busted: she has a small limp on the front left, not by me but my guess is someone touched her in the past and she learned from it. Well enough crying in my beer, Gonna try again and again and again.... Good luck, wear your harness, and keep your blades sharp.

    Had a buddy once that had a cripple doe that would bring a buck by his stand every year. She would come by his stand look up at him, then check her 6 and then travel on . A few minutes later there would be a buck in tow. This happened for several years until some one finally killed her.
