Bow Hunting Deer

Bow season so far has been horrible. opening morning I over
slept and when i got to my tree stand the deer were standing all around it.
they were looking right at me with that where have you been look. then they
trotted off one by one like that's it we did our part we quit.
  i reluctantly went ahead and got in my stand. i guess i felt the need to
 watch squirls and chip monks scamper around. and the cattle
 all come gather for some type of meeting under the tree my stand was in.
   the second day of season i got to my stand way to early.
about two and a half hours before daylight. it was cold and drizzly.
i thought the sun would never come. my wife got me a new toy
a grunt call so i watched you tube videos the night
before so i would know how to use it. so about thirty minutes
after day like i gave it a blow. and to my surprise heads popped up
about one hundred yards away. looking right at me.
well at least they know where i am.
 they went back to eating and milling around ten to fifteen
minutes later after i play like a statue. the were about seventy yards away
when some dogs started running something. they all looked toward the dogs
and the they bolted. they went towards the dogs. so i watched the squirl parade
for a couple hours went home and ate some lunch
and rested up for the evening hunt
on my way back to  my stand i have to pass a big pond. there around
the back of  the pond lay the dogs that had been running the deer off.
  got out to chase them away and there in the pond was a dead buck.
he was not there when i went to the house earlier. so i chased the dogs away
and throw-ed my tie downs out to try and drag the buck out of the pond.
 mud was to deep to wade so for two hours i worked on
getting him out of the pond. i finally snagged a antler and got him out.
 he was a nine point. would of been a nice bow trophy.
i went on to my stand and hunted what was left of the evening
but seen nothing. i seen nothing for the next four days.
except dogs. and in our state all you can do is chase the dogs away
i have seen one hound dog two german shepherds four lab mix and three other
mutts.  so i decided to hunt a differn't area today igot to the spot got all set up
 got a arrow out of my quiver and dropped it as it fell it hit the string of my bow.
 well my hunt is over for now till i get a new string put on my bow and
 get it all sight back in. i hope the your season is going bettter than mine.
 I will get my bow fixed and post the rest of the bow season later
good luck
