After seeing numerous deer in a winter rye field evenings on my way home from work, I asked by boss to switch me off today and work Saturday.  I got to the field edge late (3:15) and as I was getting to where I wanted to set my chair, two deer walked out, spooked, and went back into the woods.  I set up and at about 4:35 two fawns walked out, one button and one real small doe.  They kept looking into the woods and I kept waiting for a big doe to walk out - first one out was getting it, because this was a meat hunt only and I was not sure when I was getting back out again.  Ultimately, they winded me, snorted, and ran back to the woods.  I thought I was screwed.  Within minutes, the mother herd came from across the street, across the field, and to within 50 yards of me.  I stopped counting at 30 deer.  I saw the deer I ultimately shot and thought that it was one huge doe or a shed buck.  A good set of binoculars confirmed doe, so I shot.  Dropped it.  Got my new truck all bloody, some inside, mostly out.  I really needed that deer.  I need one more so I am gonna show my son that spot on Sunday and have him hunt it Monday evening.  Once he kills one, we will stop hunting the farm altogether.  I did not take any pictures (I know it makes this thread nearly worthless), but I was in a hurry, as usual.

Congrats on the deer today.  You gotta' be in it (the woods) to win it!

 

Getting blood in a new truck is a rite of passage.  Glad it happened for you.

When you cannot measure, your knowledge is meager and unsatisfactory.

Thanks for sharing the hunt. As for the picture....shame on you!......j/k. We do need to use our imaginations a little more.
