[QUOTE="makeithappen, post: 3038957, member: 24464"] Yesterday I went to hunt on the lease I got on back in May. I only had one stand for a south wind and the crappy Stealthcam I have there didn't offer much hope in regards to consistent deer movement, but, cameras only capture what's right in front of them, so I got situated and watched the sunrise. About 7:10, I heard something coming from the SW and there's a big shadow plodding my way. I quickly drew and stopped the nasty critter at 12 yards, firmly planting a broadhead behind his shoulder. He took off like a drunk bulldozer and snapped my arrow, circling to the NW and I heard him crash. It's my first bow kill since 2014 and I was amped up. As I'm shaking the leaves off of my tree 20 minutes later, from nerves, I notice a doe snuck in to 20 yards from my NE. I drew as she entered an opening and passed an arrow through her chest. She jumped and looked around for about a minute like she got bit by a fly. I could see the hole from my arrow. She then ran directly below my stand to the other side of me and stopped again. I could see her teetering. She eased down into a thicket and bedded for the last time. My tree is now barren, no leaves to be found. I'm glad I'm tied to my tree. It's only 7:35 so I wait for a bit to see what else presents itself. I proceeded to be pinned in my tree by 5 more does including one with triplets. 2 of the triplets had spots still so they gave their momma a free pass when she started blowing but couldn't pick me out. I recovered my doe and looked for the hog for about 10 minutes, but was worried about the temps, so I quartered out my doe and came back to track the pig. He didn't bleed well as my arrow stuck in his opposite shoulder and the high entry wound didn't allow for much blood to exit. I finally found him about 1pm, but given the temps and he was a boar, I just took some pictures with him and left him to feed the critters if they'll have him.
