Cold and windy conditions greeted the drivers and standers that decided to make a man drive after lunch in Northern Beaufort County. One doe was harvested by a driver, and one youth on the hunt who had never killed a deer before, will have to wait perhaps one day longer. The most remarkable story of the day came when I was standing on a property boundary looking towards the woods where the man-drivers were shouting, when from out of nowhere - SEVEN does ran into the drive coming from behind me. I gave the running pack a 'flock shot' even though they were a good 100-yards away, and didn't touch a thing. I later found out that a four-wheeler on the adjacent property had been in the woods and likely spooked those does. Amazingly, those does ran through the drive we were hunting and no one got a shot on them after me. But that's hunting...
