Congrats on the double!! Good job on going to the land owner before entering. Something tells me, should you have just went and retrieved the deer out of her yard... things might have gottena tiny uglywith a visit from the sheriff or warden. Not that you did any wrong,just the time and inconvience that ordeal would have took would have been a pain trying to straighten it out.

I would send her a card apologizing for any inconvience or stress thatthe situation caused. In no way am I saying to apologize for bowhunting or shooting the doe... just the situation of the doe ending up in her yard. Making sure it was mentioned what aserious, dedicatedhunter you are who respects others, theirproperty and all game laws. She has had a chance to cool off and hopefully willthink rationally when reading the card. This gesture on your partmight be the ticket to getting on her good side for future situation should they arise. Or at least make it more bearable the next time.

Congrats on the buck!! Youshould enter it.Even though it might not score much, it still should be recongnized. You pickeda good spot, made a good shot andrecovered your buck. Sounds like a successful hunt to me. That is the part that really matters!! Not the inches it scored!! This contest is for fun. Winning or losing the contest isn'twhy I got in this contest. I really enjoyreading about everyone's hunts on the team, past team mates or other teams. Well trashing talking a little to. That is what makes it so fun to be a part of. Again congrats on your buck!!
