Wish I had a camera

Had my field glasses on a doe a few hundred yards away as she walked down a hedge row. Next thing I know, it's a shooting gallery. The doe beats feet for a thicket in the middle of a field. Next thing I know, I see blaze orange on a dead run from the hedge row out to the thicket. Now, I can see both ends of the thicket. As the guy crashes in, the doe sneaks out the other side, circles around the thicket, then runs back to the hedge row before going back the way she came. The guy comes out the other end of the thicket a bit later. Never knew she circled around him. Guess no one ever told him he should wait. Hope he missed...never saw him look for a blood trail.

That one reminds me of when I was a teenager deer hunting with my Uncle. We had met back at the pickup. He was coming along the dirt road stepping on deer tracks in the ditch so he would know the fresh ones later. We started making plans on which direction each of us would take and where to meet out in the woods while drawing a map on the dirt. I guess while we were stooped over looking at this map drawed out on the ground a deer crossed the road right behind us cause when we took off my uncle hollered at me. He showed me where he had just stomped out the old tracks and right there in the mud was brand new fresh tracks. No more then 40 ft. away from where we was drawing the map out on the ground.

We felt like such idiots.
