I harvested a doe from my treestand a couple of days ago from the tree stand. I made two short grunts with my call and I noticed it heading towards my stand over my left shoulder. I slowly raised my bow towards it and got halfway up when it stopped and looked up at me. It bobbed it's head and stomped its foot. I remained motionless for what seemed like a couple of minutes while it continued to try and figure me out. When it satisfied itself that I was not a threat it put it's head down and I was able to raise the bow the rest of the way very slowly so that I could take aim. I shot it and it went right down so I did not need to track it.
I hung the deer overnight in the garage after purchasing a gambrel as I was not able to hoist it by myself. Yesterday I processed the deer and cut it up mostly into steaks and stewing meat. I took the time to trim off the fat and sinew so the whole process took most of the day.
