Not for me actually. I went to dad's on Saturday morning with Dad and my two brothers. There were four of us so we split up and covered a big pasture. I was sitting with my younger brother and we were in the blind for about 45 minutes when a nice doe came out. She stayed behind brush and cactus for about 10 minutes and finally started getting nervous. She looked like she was about to bolt when he finally got a shot. 100 yds in the boiler room with Dad's new .243. She fell in her tracks - his first deer. Dressed out right at 100#'s.
We took her to processing and had lunch in town. It was about 2:00 when we got back and we waited out a few good showers and hit the blind again about 2:30. Hadn't been in the blind long when brother #2 saw a buck working our way thru the cedar. He was a 7pt counting the missing brow tine and he dropped at about 120 yds out. Wasn't a particularly pretty rack, but he was pretty old judging from his teeth. Probably dressed at 115#.
