Saw this deer with my bow in hand a couple days prior. Watched him for 20-25 minutes out of range with a doe. He closed the distance to 47 yards but was facing me. The doe was feeding off over the hill and he took off after her. Hunted him the next couple days and never saw him. Went in early with gun in hand this time and he was dogging the doe all through a mountain laurel patch. Ended up running the doe about 50 yards away and was able to get a shot.
