Default Another Pa. deer down...no pics, broken camara... sorry guys

I went out yesterday afternoon and sat in a stand I just put up the day before. Had a 6 pt. and a little 4 pt. come into the field around 3:30 and start to browse, pretty soon they were locking there horns up and going at it 30 yds away. Really cool to watch. Not long after they both filtered off into the woods and I see them both chasing a few does around in the brush about 60 yds. away. I was like "huh must be a doe in heat". The doe's had had enough and trotted out into the field to feed, not long after the 6 pt. follows and is all over this one doe, doggin her all over the place. Well this went on for about 3 minutes and the other doe was getting fed up and actually went after the doe that was "presumably" in heat and started kickin her butt. Lol, kinda funny, I assumed she was irritated that this doe in heat was causing all this unneeded harassment from the bucks. Well right after she was finished boxing this doe upside her head she turned and walked right at me, at 20 yds. she turned broadside and started feeding with her head down. That was all she wrote, I settled into my anchor and put the pin right behind her shoulder and let it rip.Watched the tracer disappear right in the pocket.Gave her 2 hours and found her about 100 yds. from impact, perfect double lung. This is the 4th deer down this year using Rages and they always impress. Donated the meat to "Hunters for the Hungry"...already have 3 in the freezer. All in all a good day, trying to do my part to even out the B to D ratio.
