I can relate
I was on my way up a ridge where I heard acorns dropping. Almost got to the flat when I saw does and fawns headed my way. Was thinking about shooting one and then the boss doe locked on to me. Head bob, busting sticks, the whole shebang. I was stuck with all my weight on the downhill leg and bow out horizontally 90 degrees from my body. I felt the burn for a long time and then I had to lower the bow. One snort and gone. This might be a good acorn area or else they were coming for water. Going to set up and see if any bucks show later.
Well good luck! I’m thinking I’m not where the big ones will be this evening but I had no choice. The other oak ridges on this section would have had my wind and thermals blowing down into the cattails. The plan was to move closer tomorrow and near water but the wife informed me that my 13 yr old pup is struggling to walk today so I am staying home to care for him.
