An Arrowhead Afternoon Hunt

The Arrowhead Stand is my favorite deer stand at the famous Christmas Place Plantation and Hunting Club that I have hunted.  It is the same stand that I hunted muzzleloader season last January 2011 and shot a real nice doe with Rex's 45-70 and dropped her at 85 yards.  I was hoping to get another doe on this afternoon hunt as well.  The stand is a tripod with a very nice field in front and behind you and is situated within a couple of trees which makes for a great breakup.

A nice walk to the stand...you can see the green field in the far background.

A buck walks out about 3:30 and feeds all the way across the field.  A few minutes later I thought I heard something behind me and saw does feeding.  I was able to get turned around and shoot at 50 yards and she dropped.

I was surprised to see the buck still feeding after I had shot the doe.  He continued to feed across the field and was never spooked.

My doe weighed 120 lbs.
