Snapshot #14 - Stand and Wait
As I write this post we are hiding in a row of bales. (Shhhh...don't tell the deer!) We are hoping to get our first good shot together. Redbeard has had a few opportunities to shoot at a deer, but I haven't yet. Of course I need to be a lot closer to the deer than Redbeard.
As you can tell Redbeard was being a little bit grumpy at the time of this picture. For now we stand between the bales and wait. This is a good break for us from my barn quilt block priming and RB's electric fence installation.
After the hunt analysis: Now that we are back inside and reflecting on our hunt, I will tell the stories of the November 14, 2013 bow hunt. It was an exciting experience for me! I had a shot at two does twice. I drew back to shoot one of them the first time and at the same time a truck drove by and they ran away. I was lucky enough to hide behind the bales again and the same deer came right back to the area and I had another shot at her. Unfortunately I shot too low and only gathered a few hairs on the arrow. Better luck next time I guess!
