December 12th 2009 Yesterday was my youngest daughter's 14th birthday. I decided to go out today around 3pm and hunt for about 2 hours the weather wasn't too bad, about 25 deg and a south wnd. I decided to set a new stand because my standby stand was not working. As I am setting up I look over to the SE of me and I see what looks like a coyote runnning I hurry up and set the stand in a white oak tree about 50 yards south of my LLSWP stand. By the time I get up in the tree here comes two dogs barking. These dogs chased an 8 pointer about 120inch right by my tree.
One of the dogs come bag I yell at it and it takes off. Today I am trying to get a doe killed. About 15 minutes go by I look back to the south and another small 8 pointer is about 50 yards below one of the dogs on the opposite ridge about 1000 yards away. He heads down into the marsh and comes up right into my shooting lane hot on the trail of something because his nose was nearly touching the snow.
About 10 minutes pass and I again look to the south ridge and a doe comes out of the brush heading east she keeps looking back behind her but nothing ever comes out.
I get down about 515pm and when I hit the ground there is a doe there waiting for me she was just as surprised as I was she took off running back to the north she didn't wind me and she was directly north of me with a steady south wind. All in all another great day to be a bowhunter.
