    I smoked a doe tonight. She ain't the biggest slick head in the woods but she sure will taste good! She is probably only 1 1/2 years old.

    She came in and almost busted me at 25 yards. when she walked behind a tree I drew back and as soon as she stepped out I let it fly. She was 18 yards when I shot and she only ran 20 yards stopped turned around then just fell over. First time I have ever had a deer die in sight with my bow. Pretty awesome!

    I will get pics posted tomorrow when I get back home.

    I had two new guys show up on camera. The few ag fields we have around us are in beans and they are turning so combine that with bachelor groups breaking up and this is when I start seeing newbies on camera

    I plan to be out saturday and sunday also. Going to mainly be scouting for rifle season but bringing my bow just in case. Gonna be on a refuge north of Oshkosh, NE. If anyone wants to look at it its the Crescent Lake National Wildlife refuge.

    Only saw a couple does today and thats it. Our neighbor hosted a large ATV race on his property today and it was loud as hell so the deer pretty much just laid up for the day.

    Back at it in the morning
