Hey Fellas!
Well I did a bad,bad thing. But I'm still happy about it.

I went out yesterday (Halloween) morning before work and I got this doe. I thought for sure she was a yearling that was not yet in estrous, it's too early for that anyway I thought. She was acting a little spooky when I first saw her but thought it was probably one of the myriad red squirrels or black chipmunks that rampage this area that spooked her. SHe also came in grunting like a buck almost. It sounded like she was pissed off. I should have thought twice about that.

But she gave me a PERFECT broadside shot at 18 yards after stopping briefly behind a pine tree to let me draw, except she moved just before I shot causing me to hit a little too far back for my liking. Luckily I must have hit the descending aorta cuz she only went 50 yards and piled up.

The thing is, when I started dressing her, she spewed out what I can only assume was buck semen! It was I guessed about two tablespoons of yellowish white goo! Suddenly I realized that they were probably doing it right there 50 yards away from me! And there was probably a lovesick buck not far behind her! Oh well. I left enough of her scent in the area on the drag out, just too bad it rained this morning.

Here's the pic:
