What a night

The day started off a little wet. But with all of the rain I was able to get out of work early and pull some card out of our Moultrie cameras. Like usual the big drop tine buck that Don has been trying to get on was in his normal routine. With high hopes for Saturday we just couldnt sit at home, so Don and I headed out. There has been a ton of deer on one of our properties and we new we had to be in there. So we came up with a game plan, we had noticed that the deer had really been using this back corner of a cut corn field. With no stand in place we headed in with Dons Double Bull Blind in hand. As soon as we peaked over the knoll in the field there was five deer already in the field. Bumbing the deer was our only option. Once we got the blind set up, camera mounted on the tripod, arrow nocked, Don and I looked at each other and said this is never going to work. Little did we know it was going to work perfectly. Around 645 a doe peaked out of the bushes and started to enter the field. She walked right into my shooting lane around 35 yards and I heard Don say I am on her. I settled the bin and squeezed the trigger on my release. The arrow hit its mark. Watching the Nockturnal Nock all the way we could tell that she was not going to go far with that kind of shot. We decided to stay to see what else came out. Around 15 min later we had two fawns and a nice 2 1/2 yr old stud was right out infront of us. Then just before dark we had 4 more deer come out into the cut corn field. After dark we recovered my doe. She had only went about 80 yards from were she was shot. We had a total of around 7-8 deer walk with in 35 yards of our blind and not a single one of them noticed the blind. This is the first time that we have been able to hunt out of a blind that we had just poped up and get away with it. All in all it was a great night. We got some great footage for our season 3 dvd and now we getting ready for tomorrow.
