harvey lee Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Got in my stand about 5:45 and had 2 deer behind me but too dark to tell what they were.Bout 7:15 had a huge does 14 yards from me broadside and I got up without the doe knowing, she walked around a bit, I drew back to shoot and she busted me. Not quite sure what I was, she stomped her foot maybe 1 dozen times, did the drop the head and lift it but she could not figure out what I was. Slowly she walked off never giving me a good shot. I thought I was going to fill one of my bonus doe tags early.Fun morning and I will be back out about 3 for the evening round.Boy, as usual with all the leaves on the tree's, they all of a sudden appear right in front of you. She slipped in without a sound and there she was.It was a beautiful few hours in the tree even at 30, nice to get up in the tree again.

Guppy Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I had four come by about 7:45. A single doe about 40 yards out and a few minutes later a doe with 2 fawns about 15 yards. Easy shot on the doe, but I'm in a one deer area and didn't want to burn my tag on a doe this early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Had a doe and fawn walk by at about 9 o'clock but also am in a one deer area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siwulat Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 No deer sightings, but my metro area parking lots were very full. I'm thinking it has to do with the new regs. Last year I was literally the only one at the WMA on opening day. I'm going a little farther south tonight in hopes of finding some space.

mwal Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't bow hunt but I saw several does while fishing this week in the Barnes WI area and the fawns are really small and spotted still. Only saw one set of twins.Mwal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorn Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Saw 5 does this morning. Spooked four walking in darn it. Beautiful morning. Not a whisp of wind with frost on the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldtrack Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My son Brian (15) filled out early on a dry doe that's been wondering around the farm, his second deer ever with a bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Nice doe! I ended up working late into the morning before opener so sat it out, but sitting in the stand right now for day 2. Had a fork at 20 yards at first light, that's the only action so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'll add a doe with two fawns to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Pulling into my parking spot there was a doe standing there. Walking to my stand I jumped one. At 6:45 I had 2 does walking toward me and they decided to bed down about 35 yards away next to a fallen tree. Every once and awhile I can see her head and ears move. Kinda cool.

bigbucks Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Saw 8 from stand Saturday morning, a spike, two 8's, two does together with 3 fawns. Could likely have shot any of them, but too small. Hunted different spot Saturday not didn't see anything. Didn't go yesterday, going tonight to a different property where this guy lives...

frogtosser Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Jumped 3 deer on the way to my stand Saturday morning, one was a buck that just got up and strolled away as I was putting up my stand. Nothing on the evening hunt over the beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunterrj Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Went out sat evening and it was fun got to the stand about 515 and by 530 had a doe and fawn feeding in the beans. I wish we had doe tags cause I would have filled one on what looked to be 3 dry does from yr came next. The out came the bucks ended up seeing 7 different buck 4 eights 3 of which are nice and one little one. Then out came the 9pter I thought would possibly shoot but after watching him in feild for about an hr before he came towards the stand I decided nope hold out for a bigger one. Im guessing after all the pics from velvet and now seeing him hard horned hes gonna go 130ish. At one time I had 5 of the bucks within 12 yds. I have video from my phone of 2 of the 8s sparring so the only thing i was missing was the 12ptr were looking for. For sunday only saw 6 all does and fawns no horns but all the animals were up and feeding. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmnhunter Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 sat morning had a small buck come out behind me at about 40yds and he kept walking away; nothing sat night, sunday morning i had a 1.5year old doe walk in about a minute after i set up (was running late) and shot her at 645, all done now until party hunting rifle season. Do have 2 nice bucks showing up on one of my cams, hopefully they make it through the season! now more time for feather creatures and perhaps some fall fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
