I had a different view than you this morning. At 6:45, skunk passed 5 ft in front of me, at 6:55 had 3 raccoons at the feeder, at 7:00 had a doe and numbing buck. Coons left about 7:20ish. 4 more deer (2 mommas and 2 fawns) in at 7:25. 3 more in at 7:45 (shooter in this group). 2 more (both shooters) in at 7:55. So at 7:55 I had 11 deer in front of me (10 does + 1 numbing buck). 8am my feeder threw for the 2nd time that morning. Scared all them but they all came buck. numbing buck and mom leave plus a few more leave. 8:34ish I put an arrow in the biggest doe out there. 9:30 the blood trail dried up but I was able to follow her tracks to where she laid down. I had hit a little low and forward so front leg dragging in the dirt. Only problem it was on the fence line and she was still alive. She hopped the fence and ran about 50 yards and fell over. I see her stand up and start walking again so I'm trying to climb a cedar tree to get a view which way she's walking when she walks over to a shady spot and lays down. I watch her for about 15 min then walk back to my truck and call my neighbor. I know he doesn't care if I come over but I still like to give him the call. Drove around to his property so I wouldn't have to drag it as far and walked up on her and already had a buzzard on her eating her eye. They are quick! Tagged her and threw her in my truck, drove back over to my property where I gutted her and put back in the truck. Dropped off at processor on way home.
here's a pic of the 6 doe under my feeder so you can see they do come to corn in burnet co!
Few more eye candy pics from Burnet. Now wish I would have let the doe walk! All week long the doe came in and when they left the buck showed up. I guess I shot too early today!
