PSR Sheds Blood

[CHENRYIV]

I hunted opening weekend down in Grey, GA this past weekend and saw a total of 2 tree rats and one hawk all weekend, but I was grateful to have spent a long overdue sit in the beautiful GA woods. I didn't get to hunt on Monday, due to having to catch up on my honey-do-list. So I decided that Tuesday would be my day to hunt a suburban Atlanta whitetail. I got up Tuesday to find that we were going to have 10-15MPH winds all day and was hesitant to do so. However I decided that sitting in the woods as better than on the couch.

I got off work and was able to make it into the stand at around 5PM. As soon as I got in the stand I immediately check the wind, which was blowing NW, which was perfect for my stand setup.
Well about 2 hours into the sit, I started wonder if I was going to see anything...since nothing was moving other that the wind. At about 7:30 pm, out slip this doe at about 20yds coming from the NW. I thought that she was going to detect me due to the wind, but she walk right in not giving me a shot. When she got to about 12yds she turned and gave me a perfect profile shot, but as I was about to hit anchor, she turned and walked away.....to my right... Dang Dang Dang. She continued to my left and stopped about 10 yds behind my stand; at that point I decided to attempt to stick her. I picked a spot using the "RC method-aim low" and released as soon as I hit anchor and watched the arrow disappear when it struck. She took off, and I thought that I heard her crash about 30 yds away. I didn't wait my customarily 30 minutes and came on down to check the area where I had shot, and to my pleasure I found a single drop blood. I've gotta say, at this point I started to get a little worried, because there wasn't a lot of blood. At about 10 yds from the shot, I was relieved when I saw my arrow sticking up from the ground and it was covered in blood. At that point I gave thanks and gave a silent yell (it was my first pass threw and first with a wooden arrow that I made). I continued the follow the sparse blood trail for another 10 yds and saw her white belly laying a couple yards ahead. WHAT A RUSH!!! Doe #1

 Alright, Crispin!       Good to see guys putting some early season meat in the freezer.Thanks for letting us be part of your hunt!

I use to have a spot to hunt in an urban deer zone. Those deer were no slouch. They knew when you were near houses you were just another person but when you were in their woods. They were a totally different animal. They were SPOOKY!
