Again, sorry for the long delay....I hate being sick!

Any way last Saturday I was on my big oak again in my old Staghorn hiker.

At the very first hint of daylight I could hear a deer approaching. Within a couple minutes I could barely make it out on the hillside behind me. With my binoculars I could tell it was a doe.

It was getting light enough to shoot, and I started to hear what I thought might be another deer. But for the life of me I couldn't figure out where the sound was coming from, or see anything.  

I got to thinking I must be hearing things, or the doe on the hill was just confusing me.

But then, I clearly heard a deer walking close by again and just as looked around again, it appeared walking out from behind the massive oak I was in about 12 yds. away.

As it walked out I thought to myself, about the old saying...."never look a gift horse in the mouth".

"Timex" was hanging on that side of the tree, so it was just a matter of getting it in my hand and it was right in position to shoot.

At 10yds. I picked my spot, drew, and released a razor sharp Snuffer 160 tipped CX 60/75.

It was still low light, but I could my arrow was pretty close to perfect, but didn't really see it hit.

After 30yds. of crashing, and within about 10 seconds it was over...I luv it when it happens like that!

I looked with my Leica's and sure enough there was my arrow, stuck in the ground, covered bright red!

I nocked another arrow, and settled in. Within minutes a little 5 point showed up. He walked right up to a stump about 50yds off to my left and stuck his head right in it. I figured he was drinking some trapped water out of it...
•    
•    

He offered a great shot at about 25yds...
•    

From my stand...
•    
•    

Since I had more tags, and it was a great morning, I stayed right on stand till 10:00 even though I had a deer down.

When I finally got down the first thing I did was go over to the stump to see what the 5 pt. was so interested in. It was very moist inside the stump, but there wasn't any water really. Wonder if maybe there was some acorns in there??
•    


Same stand I killed the doe out of 2 weeks ago. the massive Oak, with my old Stahorn stand...
•    

Same arrow I shot my doe with...3 1/2 hours later the blood was dried...
•    


hang on, more in a minute....

For some reason, for about 20 feet it was hard to believe this deer was shot with a razor sharp Snuffer 160...
•    

But within 10-12 yds. it was back to business as usual with a Snuffer 160! Just a few examples of the trail...and this deer was running the whole time!

•    


This never gets old! Another fat doe for the freezer!
•    


Exit...
•    

Sorry if some of you guys were expecting a big old buck after all this wait. And, sorry also if some are thinking "all this for just a doe"....but to me they're all very special!
•    

Thanx for your patience, and thanx for the  get well wishes       :notworthy:
