2013 Iowa Doe

huntercole · October 16, 2013, 10:43:00 PM

Last night was really windy and I wasn't sure if I wanted head to the stand or not. I decided I'd go, after all, it's still fun even if you don't see anything. Within a few minutes of getting set up I had a doe and two yearlings run past my stand. I think they were spooky with the strong and swirling winds. About a half hour later deer started running around all over and I counted somewhere around 10 of them, all does and yearlings. I had two go past but one ended up coming back. It stopped behind some trees and I didn't have a shot. There was an opening just a few feet forward of where it stopped and I hoped it would take a few more steps. I kept looking around because deer where still moving around close to my stand. When I looked back this doe took the few more steps that I needed and I was able to make a great 25 yard shot. She ran about 70 yards and was down. Of course she had to go through a bunch of burrs, so I'll be picking those off my wool hunting clothes for the next few days. I'm shooting a 45# Thunderstick Mag, 180gr German Kinetics Silver Flame XLs, and Carbon Express 150s. I was able to get the shot on video using a gopro camera. The plan is to now try and film my brother hunting and hunt waterfowl until the rut gets here in Iowa.

Here's the video

Some of it is the video. Everything seems to look further away on a gopro
