Hunting Not Killing!

I had got off early one day so I decided to grab my bow and I went up behind my house. I had seen some deer in the distance, and my neighbor's had said there was some real nice bucks running around while I was walking. I rode to the top of the hill next to little pond about twenty foot round. I got over to the edge of the thicket, hoping a deer would come get a drink. Then I heard something out of sight. I waited then there she was, a doe at about 50 yards coming my way.

Remember everybody has a limit, to make a good solid shot my self imposed was 40 yards. Then suddenly she turned and went into the brush. I could hear her walking in the dry leaves. I was following the sound just waiting for the right time and opportunity to connect. Then just like a ghost, there was no more sound. I thought I knew where she was from where the sound stopped. So I just waited for her to move!

All of a sudden she snorted, just to say that she out smarted me, because she was not where I thought she was . She had traveled nearly another 150′ and circled me ending up standing in a clearing at about 15 yards behind me. I could not move! She had found me and was stomping her foot and blowing at me. Within minutes she had discovered that she had won this fight and I watched her bounce away.

That's why they call it hunting not killing! You can't always fill your tag but what a thrill it was! Until Next Time……Turbo
