I got up early this morning to go hunting, it was 37 and raining so I was getting ready to go back to bed. My 6 year old son was up using the bathroom so I went and checked on him. He asked if I was going to shoot him a deer and if I wanted to take his lucky rock with me. I told him I would go try for him.

I have a stand in a pine tree that is not to far away and had seen a couple nice doe there latley. As I was headed out across the field I saw 6 doe come out and start feeding. I stalked along the tree line and set up behind a patch of grass. 5 minutes later the deer where 30 yards away, I put my sights on the biggest one and drilled her through the front shoulder. She ran about 40 yards and folded up. I had her loaded up and was back home before the boys got out of bed. She weighed in at 128 pounds.

  Nice shooting. I have never taken a deer with the bow at ground level. All have been from an elevated position. That is a big doe. Congrats.

  Very nice. Congrats.
  I haven't scored yet but it's not from a lack of trying.

  Very cool. Congratulations. I want to take a deer from the ground. I've never had an opportunity. The only deer I've been close enough to shoot on the ground were already running away from me.

  Thanks guys,
  This is the third deer I have shot from the ground during archery season.I hunt a lot of hay fields and corn fields. When the deer don't cooperate you have to change your tactics.
