Pennsylvania Deer Camp

I did some still hunting this morning until about 11 in the crunchy snow. Just moving real slow, blowing a grunt call as I moved. I was hunting ridge tops. I saw 4 doe. One came up a drainage and popped out at 20 yards. I had my scope on 6x, all I could see was brown in the scope. I rushed the shot and missed! I could have almost no scoped her. She spun around and dropped down the drainage. Never got a second shot. I had another one in my scope but no shot. Last one I took a shot at one running at about 60 yards but missed again. That one wasn't surprising. Didn't kill anything but a great day.20251203_063813.jpg
 
I was in camp from the Friday after Thanksgiving until this past Sunday and hunted every day. I filled my buck tag in archery and was hoping for one antler less deer to top off the freezer. I had multiple opportunities that didn't work out early on and wound up having to make the 2 mile hike on Saturday to fill my tag. Ultimately, we had a good camp with 6 deer taken. 1 buck and 5 antler less deer. Several people didn't have buck tags.
