Between me and my wife, last year alone we hit three between December 4 and Jan 21st.(The wife hit a nice 2.5 yr old 9 point. She made me take her back to cut the rack off) 2 years before that I took out a doe with an old Dakota. Completely broke the deer into two pieces. That was crazy. I didn't even spill my coffee on my way turkey hunting when I hit that one.
