Well, we are in the last day of the all too short 3 day season. Who has a good story to tell? I got nothing...
You posted at 810am......no wonder you got nothing, lol. You should be in the woods. I've only been able to get out once so far and didn't see anything. Guess I'll try to get out a little more for doe week.
Got a nice young oak tree yesterday at 9:00 am It wasn't there when I pulled the trigger but sprang up before the bullet got to the deer, pretty messed up for it to sacrifice its life for a big doe.

my morning was booked but i got out for the afternoon on Thursday, i had heard about the weather's plans for Saturday so i was kinda hoping to get it done on the first day, sat from 2 til 'dark' and just as i was about to get out of the tree a good sized doe comes in and gives me a 7 yard shot! were not really supposed to shoot those bald deer on my property (my elders rules lol) but i didn't get out once last year and was just to damn excited to let her go. i got the last shot i heard that afternoon off, double lunged her, and venison is served now its time to find something with some head gear. ive seen some good ones, but there's one imparticular im crossing my fingers for. saw some giants at the Stauffers butcher shop, someone else obviously has some good stories!
Not shooting does doesn't really help the herd, we have a poor doe to buck ratio due to the number of does.
the tree was only about 2 inches in diameter, I was only a few inches away from it when I took picture. 350 gr bullet, 100 gr pyrodex, I guess I got excited and didn't notice the tree. 1" either side and I'd be eating deer, go figurebummer, it happens to everyone at least once. you must be hunting with a cannon to do that kind of damage to that tree lol. did it go clean through?

With a bow in hand I see deer everyday.
With a gun in hand I saw diddly squat..
And since diddly squat is not in season right now, you're screwed.
I'm sure I'll have them all shot down by the end of shotgun season.
well another shot to the right and you can down the tree for next time ...
