Default 1st doe of the 07 season

Today was a long and exhausting day. Family issues kept me out of the woods this morning, but I was able make it out for the evening hunt. 1 hour after I was set up and dozenes of squirrels & chipminks later, I doe came slinking thru the brush. She was already at 20 yds. I stand and prepare for a shot. She looped around some and came out into the goldenrod field facing me. After several steps she decided to turn broadside and I decided to shoot her. About 25 yds(ranged previously), she musy have started ducking and turning at the shot cause I hit her high and back. Down she went with the spine shot, and a quick exit of the stand for a finisher and it was over. Not ideal, but it is what it is. I'll be eating inner tenderloins for breakfast. The rest of her went to the Hunters Sharing the Harvest Program.

Here's a pic, yea it's a truck one, but after the drag I had, there was no way I was taking her out for pics and putting her back in.
