This was my first time to ever bowhunt the davy crockett national forest, I got reality of how public land works. I went the evening before opening morning and set up a ladder stand way back (about a mile) thinking I would be the only one back that far but boy was I wrong. Opening morning there were 2 men that I hiked in with and they set up about 100 yards from me.... just across a creek. They rattled, snort weezed and cracked opened cans all morning long. So after that hunt I decided it's time to break out the climber, I decided to go in the same area my dad has hunted for 20 years with great sucess. I found a well used trail and climbed the tree, I had a doe skirt me at about 70 yard and just before dark this nanny doe showed up and I stuck her.
I do not mean to fowl up this post with birds but both were taken on public.
The Eastern on the Sabine National Forest and the Rio on a piece of property I will only disclose through PM.
