I went this morning to another spot that I have never scouted before. SO not knowing the lay of the land I trekked into the woods. I was following an old road and as I came down a slope just out of the high grass I could see another trail intersecting ahead. And there right where the to trails met stood a doe! Broadside, presenting a perfect shot!!!!!
A perfect shot for someone who was ready! Not me I was holding my little chair in one hand, but I did have an arrow nocked in the bow but couldn't drop the chair or she would have bolted so we stood staring at each other. She stomped a few times and I tried to remain still.....then she screamed and bolted. BUSTED. Turns out the trail she was on is a pipleine. I was hoping for that from the google maps. No luck after that but now I know to stalk up to that area slower.
I also broke my stool! SO now I need a new one!
So far its been a great hunting season soon it will be harvesting!
A chronicle of my first attempt at bow hunting and the progess made from acquiring a bow to harvesting a deer, I hope! It will make more sense to start from the first entry even though it is the last to show up. But those who know about blogs (unlike me) already know that! Enjoy

Opening Day
Well opening day was Sept 15th. I went in late to work that day. I learned a lot in the woods that morning. One deer crashed into the woods screaming like I never heard, (since I have never hunted that makes sense). So I got to see that one and then I heard another one which according to the internet was a buck! It was exciting!
