I went out Friday the 3rd (almost stayed home but kept telling myself that you can't get 'em from the couch) for an evening of slow walking and possibly a short sit before dark. After walking for about an hour, I came across some good sign of deer activity, especially a buck.
The area looked good for sitting and waiting so I found myself a somewhat comfortable spot on the side of a terrace and hoped I wouldn't get too cold before the end of shooting light.
Approx. 15 mins before quitting time, two yearling does stepped out of the timber and began to mill around. A few minutes later, a decent 8 steps out and took interest in the does. He didn't want to get out in the open by the does so I had to wait for him to turn broadside where he was at. The area was thick with cover but I was able to find an opening and let him have it. He only ran 25 yards before expiring and made for an easy recovery.
