Hard Questions Part II
It's the 3 p.m., the last day of bow season you are hunting a public land and have yet to arrow a deer. Monday the gun seasons start.
You look to the right and see a nice buck working in and out of the field edge about 90 yards out! After 10 minutes the buck is about 75yds and seems to be working toward your stand.
You look left and see another deer at 60yds, after a minute or so you determine it's a mature doe and it's making a bee line for your 15 yd shooting lane. You look over at the buck and he's at 70yds making a scrape. He's a decent 8 not a monster, but would be your best with a bow.
The doe is now at 45yds and closing fast. The buck has closed to 60, but is starting to angle away a little. You estimate 2 minutes til the doe hits the lane.
What do you do, take the easy doe or hope the buck is still in range when he reaches your lanes?
PS Your grunt tube is on the ground having fallen when you put on you coat.
PPS You see the doe has an arrow stuck in it's ham (12"+ sticking out) there's a little blood and it's still bright (fresh).
PPPS The buck just grunted (at the doe?????????????????)

RE: Hard Questions Part II
Have to shoot the doe and finish the job. there is always another hunt for the buck even if it means waiting until next year. For me that isn't a hard question at all.
