Yeah!... got my first bow kill on monday night about 5pm ish... I was set up in a small woodlot...past a nearby pile of blowdowns I kept hearing this Tinking/rattling sound and breaking twigs.... the sound abruptly stops and I see a flash of white with running.... Bucks sparing?
awile later a doe and two fawns pop out and make a fast beeline for the rootmass of a downed tree I was next to... Hmmmm... I was set up on a watering hole!(this is un-scouted newly acquired private land... we decided to just walk in and climb a tree and see what we can see sort of hunting/scouting... its not very big anyway) They were completely concealed in the hole drinking... The mama doe was the first to pop out... when she turns I plant the arrow... Double lung, she didn't go far...
One of the fawns sticks around about 20 yards under the cover of some bushes and low tree canopys... I try to wait the fawn out... it even beds against the base of a tree... eventually the other fawn comes back... The two of them wander away the whole time not passing a single shooting lane...
Oh, and the Tinking/rattleing noise starts up again past the blowdowns...
I plan on returning to that spot eventually to see if I can't get those fawns and maybe discover who is makeing all that noise...
