Two for One!

Well, kind of...two in one day, I guess would be more like it.  Today was opening gun season for deer and Ben was up at the crack of dawn to try and get him one since he has been unsuccessful all bow season.  He has passed up a few because of their size and since it was getting later in the season...he was ready to get one!  About 7:30 am he said he was in his stand and noticed two deer about 1,000 yards away (with his binoculars) and they apparently were bedding down.  It was a doe and a buck.  Ben figured he would keep an eye on them hoping they would start his way.  Well, after a while he decided to get up and go to his camera he has out in the woods to see if he could jump any deer along the way and again noticed the two out in the field, still bedded down.  Ben decided to take a different approach and see how close he could get.  He walked as far as he could and watched.  He said the doe would get a little antsy and want to get up but the buck didn't want her to and would get up and grunt at her to make her lay back down.  Ben finally got on his stomach and belly crawled his way closer (too about 2 hours to do all this).  As soon as he thought he couldn't get much closer, the rain started.  The doe got up and the buck allowed it.  He got up after her and they started to move a bit.  Ben let the buck get broad side and took his shot.  The first shot was too high (since he sighted in his gun a bit different) but the buck didn't move!  Ben had time to adjust and shoot again and got him.  He jumped and then fell.  The doe basically stood there, not moving so Ben reloaded and took the shot on the doe.  Two in a matter of minutes!  An 8 point buck and a doe.  Great job honey, glad you got your deer!
