I was hunting an area that lead from a hardwood draw into a thick bedding area of planted pines. At about 8 o'clock I had a doe come through headed into the thicket. After that it was a slow morning until about 9:45 when I heard a deer coming from the thicket. As I eased up in my stand a doe stepped into a shooting lane with a buck close behind. As the doe ease through the lane the buck stepped out giving me a perfect broadside shot at 30 yards. The buck only ran about 40 yards.
