Years ago at my bosses farm in Spalding. I had 5 come in the pasture below me. I was 30 feet up. Rifle mind you. Only 2 left the field. Each time they would run in circles wondering what was going on. They made it too easy.Concrats on the kills
Double down in Cobb county

Congrats on some fine shooting!
I had a chance to double down last year with my rifle. I hunt some pretty thick stuff, and I did a buck grunt to see if I could stir something up. Well as soon as I hit it, two "does" blasted right out in front of me, and ran around in a circle behind me and stopped. I could see enough of the top 1/2 of both to take a shot so I picked one and fired. The one I hit ran off and crashed a few seconds later. The other just dropped down on the ground.
Since I had hit my meat quota for the year with that kill, I just watched the other one. It eventually got up and walked right under me, and it was then that I saw it was a button buck and not a doe. I knew right then, the other one was most likely a button buck, and it turned out to be one. I am glad I hit my meat quota and did not shoot the other one because that would have been a violation and cost me some sort of fine I believe.
