Apply What You Learn into Practice

So, yesterday I was hunting, again, and I unknowingly walked, apparently, into a does bedroom.  I started to walk into a big clump of thorn bushes and a doe jumped out and seem very surprised I was there.  I had read a lot about hunting in some books the last few weeks so I put what I read into practice.  I read that deer sometimes double-back, so I waited in a little clear stretch in a bottleneck in the woods close to where the does bed was.  The doe, thinking the danger had past, came back through the clearing (really a 10 foot wide path) came back right in front of me in bow range.  I wasn't prepared to draw back because the doe was walking so silent.  But the doe kept walking and I didn't get to shoot.  But I decided to follow, but I scared it so it ran off again.  I waited a while but I decided to head home before I saw it again.  So, don't feel bad for me.  I don't.  The lesson is this: deer sometimes will double-back.
