Yeah build a nice ground blind where plenty of scentt cover and hope thaat the wind is in your favor. The first time I ever killed a deer with a bow I was hunting from the ground about 25 yrds out. Our season ended here on the 19th of December

???already preoareing for next year

Thanks for the tip, I slipped up on three doe yesterday about dark. Could only see the outline of them. They were about 45 yards standing in open field, all of them with their eyes glued right on me.

I made one tiny move and they ran over to edge of field and blowed about 20 times LOL. One ran back and forth blowing . They finally just pranced ,waving those flags , right down the edge of field to the opposite end. Too bad didn't get one :-/

but I do enjoy the encounters too.
