I have a lot of respect for you guys that hunt with traditional bows in areas like NH and Maine.  That has got to be some of the most difficult whitetail hunting there is.  Great job!

Congrats!

I would like to add.

How you went about taking this doe was pure bowhunting at its finest! It is how I hunt as i cant stay still for long. Crunching that acorn and bleeting was over the top and maybe something can be learned by the masses for such a great smoke screen trick.

Well done sir!
I hunt just like the men who walked the trail of tears.

Very kind of you No Sights. I learned the basic drill hunting boar with locals in Hawai'i who would sometimes "smack" their lips when near boars to mimic another near pig feeding. Calmed the target down and sometimes brought them closer out of curiosity.

For those who might try the acorn move - red oak acorns are pretty bitter though I understand Native Americans would submerge red oak acorns in the bottom mud of shallow water and leave them until the next season leaching out much of the tannin and making them edible. Not planning on adding them to my diet though!

Yes Birdbow,  red oak are bitter ,but white oak are pretty good to eat if you had to survive. Congrats on your deer taken on the level with her trying to figure you out.  Great story and pics.
