Bedding Deer

This morning I went out in the woods and about an hour after daylight I had three does come up from my right....I stand up getting ready for a shot and low and behold, the all three decide to bed down about 30 yards from me! I would've taken a shot, but all three were covered by some brush of limbs. I had to let them lay...Seeing how I only had about 3 hours total to hunt I decided to start making some "nature" noises but the finally got freaked out and left. Back the way they came....no shot[:(]

    If huntin' is a sport, then your lookin at an athlete- T-shirt

    Gun bans have never accomplished anything, other than to create a safe working environment for criminals.
