So with rifle season 11 days away I was I my good stand with crossbow been seeing way more bucks this year. At dawn I heard bucks grunting in the swamp, rutt is just starting; and than I heard what sounded like a heard of deer cross the freak, I saw movement than nothing; movement than nothing again ten I saw a deer come out into the mowed path, then I couldn't see it? The sky hadn't gone fully pink yet so I hit my grunt a few times; a buck grunted back but further in the swamp not right out front where I swore I saw a deer; a few minutes pass the sky is pretty golden pink and absolutely no wind and I hear movement right behind a large autumn olive bush to my right front and a large doe stepped out and than was gone in an instant but I can see all areas of approach for 50 yards?
Now I think my eyes are playing tricks on me, than the poor doe stands up out of the grass to my right front, I can see something is wrong with her. She takes a few steps toward my left and almost falls again, she stands still for a moment and I can see she is wobbly. Sick or injured I didn't know
