Been a hot one this weekend. Deer camp was a good time but I was struggling to get a crack at anything until this evening after everyone had left camp.
Went to a lone persimmon tree that ImThere had found the day before, and it actually had good deer sign. I've seen tons of persimmons here recently, but there are more rotting fruit than there is deer sign. And the red oak acorns are raining down a bumper crop as well. So it was nice to see a tree with some fresh sign.
Anyway the first 3 that came in I had a shot at the lead doe, but she was right downwind and looked up at me when I got to full draw. She turned broadside but when I said "meh" she ran off.
Little while later 2 more does come in. Smaller one in front bigger one behind. I wanted the bigger one of course, but as the smaller one stood there broadside giving me a perfect shot, and I looked up at the steep hill I'd have to drag her, I decided it would be better to shoot the small doe and I sure am glad I did.
This was my first with a Schwacker broadhead and the weird thing is the exit was a little higher than the entry. She did duck away from the arrow right before it hit, so maybe that's why. It got the back end of both lungs and didn't ever touch the liver. The blood trail was spotty. Went at least 100 yards.
I made this aider to use with 3 lone wolf climbing sticks and a lock on stand. Turns out it made a great deer drag as well.
