November 5th

Got into ground blind really quiet since we had rain last night. It was a wonderful morning. The weather was sunny 28 degrees with the winds out of the North at 8 mph. I was watching some geese on the river when I glanced over to see deer coming through the CRP field. There was 5 does and they just knew something was not right. They winded me a little but not sure what I was so they just wheeled around and trotted off. I was watching farther off in the CRP when I noticed more deer moving about 15 minutes later. They walked up and I drew on the biggest doe. There were three more does. She kept walking and would not stop so I grunted at her. When I did that she turned and faced me with a sappling tree in her chest. I held my bow for 5 minutes at full draw and could not hold any longer. After that she moved around my blind and would not take her eyes off me so I could not draw again. After I had the chance to draw she trotted off. I ended up going back out a hour later to take down my blind and I put up a deer stand so I hope that this makes a difference. We will see so stay tuned in for the next update!
