Day two is really nice the wind was gone it was 20 degrees outside and I knew it would be a better day. We go back the the same set of eye brows and wait we saw 6 deer in the distance a few coyotes but nothing else. I know the people on the neighboring property don't get to the top till 9:00 abd thats when the deer start moving. 8:15, two deer come from the neighboring prop and stop at about 200 or so. I ask Em if she's got them, she says yes and I just told her to wait till they stop and take the bigger doe. They stop BOOM. Miss high left and the deer take off. Em was happy to see more deer but really wants to get one. So at 9:00 3 come straight in from or front right towards us. I'm pumped cause this'll be a 50-100 yard shot. But the wind us and stop in the stubble below. 180 yards out. You could tell they were nervous but not totally freaked out. The mamma stops broadside and Em cuts loose. Miss!! :bash: I tried to console her by saying many adults can't pull that shot off and she really seemed fine although a bit disappointed. About 30 mins later two more does come into the stubble. I ask Em if she ready. She says yep. I bleat the deer stops and THUD. I know it's a good hit. The doe ran about 30 yards and fell, stone dead. Perfect shot double lung, heart shot. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Check this pic out. This was a doe, it had all the necesary equipment and was with a fawn. But the thing had buttons!. If you've ever felt buttons on a buck they are about half the size of these and not so pointy. Weirdest thing I've seen. Any input?

It was nice to meet both of you. We saw a few more does on Sunday, but that was it.

Here's a pic that Em took of me carting the deer back, That was a real chore, one deer is no prob but two is punishing. These carts are fabulous for wheat country hunting. These deer were just over a mile in.
