Michigan bow opener was today. I went out with the g/f this morning and we sat at separate stands. We had a N and NW wind this am. This past week it has rained everyday, so everything is soggy.
I goofed up this am and had 3 does under my stand. I didn't see them till it was too late. They stuck around for a bit, then worked their was back from where they came from. It was extremely thick in the woods. One of the reason I don't hunt much woods during the 1st week of bow. You can't see!
The g/f seen a few does, but no shots. She also seen a nice 4pt which she passed and a decent 2.5yr 8pt, but was across the field.
I went out this evening solo since my g/f went to Chicago to meet up with some of her friends for an engagement party.
I went to another farm that would work better with the N wind. I climbed into my hay field stand around 5:45pm. Pretty late, but the deer usually start working out of the woods around 6pm.
I got into stand and it was a few minutes I started seeing some does work out of the neighbors big woods. I nice 2.5yr old came out with a few other bucks and does about 120yds. At 6:30, I watched a buck in a different field hauling butt and heading towards the big woods. All the deer I was watching, went into the big woods. I suspect the YAHOO neighbor was crawling into his stand at 6:30pm
I dealt with this yahoo last year, but I can't say for sure if he was out.
Later in the evening I had about 15 deer work themselves in our hay field. Does mainly, but there were a few 1.5yr bucks.
I watched a beautiful 3.5yr 10pt just outside bow range. Roughly 60yds sparing with a little 4pt. They worked themselves away from me and I had 3 does under the stand. I decided to take on.
A simple 10yd shot. She her high in the top luck and exit through her tummy. She was quartering away when I took the shot. The high shot was a result of my stand being high at 25'. For this hay stand, the higher the better to get your scent away from the deer.
Lot of deer out tonight. I seen roughly 10 different bucks and about 20 does.
Anyways, here's the doe.
Here's a pic of the 2.5yr old 8pt. I would of passed him.
Few does/dink bucks. Sorry for the poor quality pic's. Hard to take pictures through the binos and Iphone.
