There were five doe bedded in the field in the upper right hand corner. 30 minutes after getting on my stand they got up one at a time and walked into the woods. 30 minutes later a doe came out of the woods and I watched her feed all the way across the field to that low-cut area right in front of my stand. It took her 45 minutes. As she's about to walk broadside in front of me I hear another deer coming out of the woods on the trail that runs right underneath my stand. The first doe finally got broadside in front of me at 30 yards. I squeezed a shot off and she went down and was flopping around. I thought, "Cool, a doe for the freezer. Then she got up and started running across the field. After about 100 yards she slowed down and went down again. I thought, "Cool, a doe for the freezer. I reloaded, marked her position, climbed down and started out toward her. When I got within 50 yards I saw her lift her head up. Nothing I could do but get ready to shoot if she bolted. She did, I shot, and I missed. Wanna buy a flinter....cheap. LOL
Eh...wot?

Some folk's interpretation of "Pa.Archers" seems to be pretty broad, but given the propensity meat greediness among folks from that otherwise great State, I am not surprised. BTW, I'll bet that doe was hit high and caused temporary paralysis of the spine. I have lost more than one that way, after of course, giving myself high fives and whoops and hollers. Pennsylvania's early muzzleloader season for bear and antlerless deer opened today. A legal animal I was specifically hunting presented an excellent shot and I took it. How do you equate that with "meat greediness"? As far as your complaint about me posting a muzzleloading hunt on a "Pa.Archers" thread, how about we let the OP decide if it's too far off topic for his thread? What do you think Mark, should I delete my post? The deer wasn't hit high, I shot low. There were two small clumps of white hair where I hit her, no blood.
Eh...wot?

he had one a little bigger than that he couldn't get a shot at 10 min. before that one got there.then when they went back to gut and drag it,the big 10 we are hunting and have a shed from was in the field and wouldn't leave. throw 30 doe in a field right now and it can get fun.

he's 20 and kinda into the girls a little but can probably trap and put up fur with the best of them.he just got sent on the road to work in Albany NY so wasn't sure how much pa hunting he;ll get.his whole crew has ny liscenses and have some good hunting where they are working i guess.plus we have 600 acres to hunt in ny 2 miles from my house.guys a grump unless you spent your whole life in the valley with him and trap his coyotes so they leave his horses alone.

My granddaughter and I went out this morning to where I hit the doe last night. Here is some hair from where I hit her, there was no blood at all. We couldn’t find where she went down in the field, it was like finding a needle in a haystack with no blood trail to follow. We went into the woods the same place she entered and followed a heavily used trail up the side of the hill. About 300 yards from where I took the shot I found this. A short while later we jumped a doe out of her bed. No blood in the bed and it was running just fine, I have no way of knowing if it was the one I shot at or not. We did a grid search on the hillside and looked in all the heavy cover to make sure there was no dead deer laying there.
Eh...wot?

Pcr2 I live about a hour and half from Albany. I hunt southern Zone NY in Cambridge. Public land because non of the farm landowners I have asked will let me hunt. I even offer to trap. One told me ok to turkey hunting and I have plus they like deer meat. I brought them some deer and bear meat they loved it. Maybe sometime I will be allowed to deer hunt there but I’m great full for what they allow.
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price
