Parke County Farm
Nothing showed early until a squirrel and I played tag for a while.
Shot 1-He was on the log and the arrow passed about 3 inches in front of his nose.
Shot 2 - Deja Vu. What's up with hitting the trees.
Shot 3 - 5 minutes later he (or his brother) made the mistake of coming back.
The rest of the morning was uneventful.
I moved my stand and had 2 deer walk right under it at 3:00 pm. Only problem was I wasn't in it. I had decided to take a siesta downwind about 100 yards from my stand before climbing in for the evening hunt. I had both deer within 10 yards of me but neither offered a shot. Of course I was taking a sip of coffee when the first one showed up so she nailed me. The second saw me walking up to get in my stand but never busted me. Never offered a shot either.
1 hour after getting in my stand I had a doe just about step into my shooting lane before looking up, right into my eyes, she swapped ends and blew out of there before I thought she could have processed what I was. She must have seen a treestand before. 15 minutes later a doe and her grown fawn came in but mama scoped it out for baby and walked on the wrong trail where I had no shot. She got downwind and left but never spooked. It was a fun day in the woods and I got some squirrel meat simmering in the crack pot as I type this :)
