Hunted some state land in 8g... Got in there about 4 30 pm. I walked in on well groomed hiking trails and found a heavy run crossing the trail into the thickest brush. Walked in there for 80 or so yards untill I found a clearing where I could shoot from... Just as I approached the clearing I bumped what sounded like one deer. I never got a look at it. I went in another 20 or 30 yards to a second clearing and found apples trees with most of thier bounty laying on the ground and this is where I set up. I got myself ready and hit the grunt tube. Immediately I grab my phone on start posting on the live from the woods thread as I am excited to share my first sit of the 2019 season! About 2 minutes later, I raised my eyes up from the phone and there a big doe locking eyes with me at 15 yards head on. I clipped the release on and the doe high tails outta there. Damn! So here's my lessons learned tonight. 1. Keep off the phone especially when ground hunting. I never heard the doe come in to the grunt. 2. Expect a deer to come in to every grunt every time. 3. Go into the thickest cover via deer runs and set up somewhere where you can take a shot. There are deer bedding down in there. 4. Don't beat yourself up over a mistake especially if you learned something from it. In summary, I am thrilled to get out there in the woods with the bow and that I was able to have an encounter with a big doe! The rainstorm ended my hunt early but Friday and Saturday are looking great due to a cold front moving in and a possible frost overnight into Saturday morning. I'm pumped!
