I was able to double up last Saturday on a couple doe. One at sunrise and one about 1740. You have to love those cold fronts and oak trees. The first doe came to 25 yards walking broad side the whole time. Heard her crash.
NOW FOR THE OBSERVATION.
At about 4:40 a big spike and doe came walking into the oak tree about 60 yards. I watched did not even reach for the crossbow. Then about 5:30 they start walking back. This time 40 yards right on the button. I grab the crossbow and the deer have no idea I am around. She stops at 40 yards completely broadside and I aim for a heart shot and send it. She hears the crossbow go off and drops, I mean her belly almost hits the ground and my arrow goes right over her back. Eye opening how quick flinch their reflexes are. I will not be taking anymore 40 yard shots. She did get curious and come back to check out the sound. That was her fatal mistake. She could not flinch and drop enough that time. I think my bow is moving at 340fps
