Yeah, I have one. I found a sweet spot where a bunch of does and bucks were crossing the narrow end of an alfalfa field. The county road was about 200 feet away with someones driveway 10 feet behind me. I was up under a little oak that provided a great blind. The deer would come across like clock work just before the sun set. I would be on the ground and have deer 10 to 60 yards in front of me. They seemed to have no clue that I was there. One evening, I had watched a few does come by and then a buck stopped about 25 yards in front of me. I hunt with an old bow and I missed, could have been me. He ran off and then came back with another buck about 5 minutes later. They were trying to spot me so I had to sit still. Then a van came by on the road, pulled to a stop to look at the deer, rolled down their window and offorded me the perfect opportunity. The buck looked at the van and I drew and nailed him. He dropped about 100 yards away, 6 feet or so from the road. Needless to say, the folks in the van were a little suprised by the shot and sped off. That was one of the easiest jobs I ever had of packing a deer out. Plus it was nice to have an audience. |
