RE: Hunting shows and trophy deer
That's why I usually shoot the doe.
Funny story.
I was ML hunting one year with my hunting partner and his son.
The wind started blowing really hard and i don't like being in a treestand whent eh tree is weaving all over.
I got down and slowly hunted my way back to the truck.
On the way I found Chris, my partners son(he was bowhunting) on the ground walking too. He must not like the swaying either.
We slowly worked our way to a field edge where we could see the trucks.
We didn't see his Dad at the truck so we held up where we were to wait for Larry to come out of the woods.
We stood there for a little while and all the sudden 2 deer, a 6 point buck and a doecame out of the woods and headed to the cornfield.
They were about 75 yards away.
I pulled the ML up and shot the doe.
Chris says "you missed the buck and hit the doe"
I started to laugh!
I said I didn't miss anything, I shot the deer I was aiming at.
Here in Iowa I get 6 or 7 tags every year.
All but 2 of them, one ML and one bow,are doe only.
I save the anysex ones for the buck that always eludes me!
Maybe this will be the year I get a big buck with my bow?
