Well here's the break down from last night:
Got up in the tree, about 6:45 a doe with two spotted fawns showed up so I watched them. A couple minutes later I hear more steps and a beautiful grey doe, full body and mature arrives on the scene. "GAME ON" I thought! She stoppped at roughly 30 yards under the cover of some branches I couldn't shoot through so I went ahead and pulled my bow to be ready as she only needed to step about 10 feet more for a full broadside shot. She never moved but Mrs. Momma doe pranced around and then stopped, looked straight at me and did the typical stare down for a while. "Busted" Fully drawn and couldn't move till those eyes moved away. Finally she looked down and I relaxed my pull. She then looked up and did a snort, stomped her hooves and away she went with the little ones! Mrs. Grey doe stay put for a few seconds then turned her gaze upon me, once she looked up she said super snort and away she went. The next 30 minutes I listen to them laughing in their snortful way! After reviewing the scene I realized my clear plactic water bottle was hanging on my treestand facing the deer, shiny bottle equals too much bling bling!! Oh well chalk it up for a good hunting experience and another lesson learned! Could I have taken the momma doe, absolutely! But in my personal choice I rather give spotted fawns a better chance to live for next seasons hunt! God always provides!!

Good job. Glad you have the discipline to pass when one really should do so.

Had one sneak up behind me last night, big snort and gone. Didnt see what it was, almost jumped out of stand, scared the crap outta me.
