A watching game for Friday's hunt
Well, deer hunting was just a watching game Friday afternoon. My husband and I with our Parker crossbows hunted a friends farm. It was a nice afternoon but the deer were not moving where I had set up. I only saw one doe, and she was around 90 yards away. She ran from the lower edge of the field I was watching, ran into the woods and started slowly walking away from me. Then about 2 minutes later, she turns around and runs out of the woods, back to where she came from! Not sure what spooked her.
My husband had a show to watch. He had a fawn come by, just jumping and prancing around then it walked off into the dark of the woods. A bit later two fawns came down the path from the woods headed towards the field. They were running around in circles, prancing, racing up and down the path. He said they were there for about 10 minutes before going back into the woods. About a half an hour before sunset, a doe and two fawns came to within 20 yards of him. They too were having fun running around, browsing and totally unconcerned or unaware of my husbands presence. He decided the doe was a small one. He did not shoot. The doe when it got to about 20 yards, realized something was out of place. She looked at the blind he was behind, stomped her hoof, snorted, twirled around and took off.
That was the show for the day.
Take care, good hunting, good shooting,
M.
