Ive posted several times about my frustration with “the sisters” - three old does that run together and never have fawns with them. They have gotten almost in bow range 5-6 times over the last two seasons but always spook even when the wind is right. Real sixth sense stuff. I got in the krivo today at 3:15 (feeder throws at 4:30) and at 3:18 before I had a chance to settle in or open a window they hop into the pen. I nock an arrow and give them a few minutes. When all three seemed to be looking away I slowly started opening a window. From their reaction you would think I sounded “charge” on a bugle. Foiled again!

Dang!
I feel your pain. There is a single doe that comes in with a group of other does and yearlings. When she is coming in to the feeder she is blowing and alerting the whole time and keeps everyone on edge. They rarely if ever settle down and I usually get busted while trying to draw on her. -
Those older mature does are the hardest ones to fool in all the deer woods. I feel your pain Jerp.Comment

Perhaps they're on high alert when they enter? Maybe give them a few minutes to get comfortable before opening the window next time? Maybe, maybe not. Good luck.Comment

I know the feeling,
. I swear it seems like they can feel you looking at them.

Ha! We used to have 3 does like that. We called them the "Barbies." But rifle season finally caught up to them.Comment
