Success!!! I was sitting on a thin wood line with the wind in my face listening to the night bugs start to sing. Then I saw movement to my left across a small meadow. In a flash a small doe was running past me at 10 yards. Damn, I thought, she would have been tasty. Then another followed a little slower but moving at a steady pace. Then 8 more filed passed me. A button buck was the only one to stop a give me shot. I passed because I saw some more movement in the woods. A large doe bounded out into the meadow and toward me on the trail the others followed. She stopped at 10 yards to my left on an embankment. I drew and released. My arrow vanished. But she just stood there. No reaction. Hmmmmm. Missed? Missed! I grabbed another arrow and she retreated back to the wood line she came from. As she stopped before entering the woods I released again. Arrow looked great then at the last millisecond it deflected left and stuck her in the hindquarter. Damn!! I really did it now. Light was fading and I didn’t see the saplings in the way. I sat till nearly dark and gave chase. I had good blood and followed cautiously. I found her shortly after stone dead in the leaves. What a pretty girl. I examined her and found my first arrow had passed through her chest wonderfully. She was dead and neither one of us knew it. Lessoned learned. If I haven’t studied the shooting lane prior to the deer’s arrival I am holding my release. I returned and found my first arrow hiding in the long grass on the side of the embankment. HA! But on a side note the second arrow went completely through her as well and must have hit some arteries because she was full of blood all over inside. Thank God for Tuffhead and Ashby…..and double lung shots. What a hunt!!!
