I still remember trying to arrow a doe under a feeder. She was 16-17 yards away. My bow had been chrono'ed at 310 fps. I was in a ground blind, and she did NOT know I was there. I let fly, aiming 3 inches up from her chest. Perfect shot. She JUMPED THE STRING, and the arrow flew 3 inches over her back. Holy crap, talk about reflexes. I bet that doe's still alive.

oh yeah we have one..... We call her "shortstack". She's half the height of the other does but twice the width. Been watching/hunting her for 4 years and she seems to always be victorious. My 8 year old has called dibbs on her this year.He will probably get it done
She has 9 lives and I think she is on number 8 so this year should be the year. We have only bow hunted her so that makes it even more challenging. We have shot and missed her twice. Once had her dead to rights and got busted by another deer while drawing. If she lives past this year then I think she deserves to live. She never has any offspring and is always alone. Even the bucks know to leave her alone as she doesn't out up with much from them.

Originally posted by Ten Ring View PostI had some deer like a couple years ago. My dad was hunting a stand a little farther up the hill from my stand. About 30 minutes before dark he fires. I texted him " what did you shoot" and I start packing up my stuff to go help him. He fires a second shot, so I send him another text "you shoot another one" so now I'm really excited and start walking to his stand. I get there and there is a doe standing at the feeder. So I say "dad there is a doe at the feeder, I'm going to shoot her." I pull my rifle off my shoulder and get in the standing stance that I shot competitions with. I hear my dad say "go ahead and try, but she is a ghost deer" I get the cross hairs leveled and in the right spot and notice she has a wired coloring on her back and one ear. I fire and she is still looking at me, I go to rack another one and she kinda runs/walks off. Come to find out we both shot at her. My dad shot at her down one of the lanes she didn't even run she walked to the next lane and he shot at her again then I showed up as she is eating from the feeder and i shot at her. We found no blood or anything. We check our rifles the next day and we both shot perfect at 100 yards, even when I shot offhand. The next time I saw her I didn't even try to shoot her, I just let her feed under my feeder for a bit and walk off. I guess some deer are un-killable.
