Nice, but you do not shoot doe's.

Got out late in Z5.  Set by 4:45. Nothing so far.  Good luck.

I had a lot of action today but no serious rutting activity. In the AM I had a 7 and 3 pointer and 4 does come by, they all got the pass. I decided to bail out at 9:30,  at 9:15 a coyote ghosted in, gave him a bark, he stopped and looked me in the eyes, I put the crosshairs on him and started to pull the trigger at the same time he decided it was time to bail out so the bolt hit him far back. Hopefully he didn't make it but if he did I'm sure he will move on to a different area. My PM hunt was full of action with deer moving the whole time, had a nice 2 1/2 year old 8 browsing in front me at 60 yards, he would catch my wind when it shifted but he would go back to browsing once it shifted away from him. Then a big 7 pointer(3.5 or 4.5 year old) came out of no where's and gave the 8 a half assed challenge, then the wind shifted again and the big boy didn't wait around , he took off and never looked back and the 8 went back to eating. It always amazes me it only takes a mature buck no more than a few seconds to register danger and they are off to Dodge

I got greedy tonight waiting for the big doe behind the medium size doe.  The big doe knew something wasn’t right and stayed in the thick stuff.  Ended up taking a shot on the medium doe after they were both starting to try to leave. Ended up getting a deflection and gave just a haircut, no blood on the arrow or ground.  I should have taken the medium doe when I had the opportunity. I learned something today besides that I’m an idiot

Really good afternoon sit . Bunch of bucks and had two youngsters go at pretty hard .  Passed these 2 up and comers .

had the big 8 pass behind me at 70yds with a spike. I think same spike came in under me and was hoping big 8 would be behind him but....not tonight.

Oh, and...called in an owl...LOL

My 2nd year hunter had a nuck and 3 does just enter her set up at 530. She needed the buck to take another step or two when a squirrel hunter shots not far away and deer run 75 yards away. They hung out with her for 30 minutes or so but never came back in range.

No I think the arrow was deflected hair was on the ground but no blood on the arrow, wasn’t even wet.  I think literally it was a haircut
