I am still on my quest to kill 10 doe off my friend's farm where depradation tags were issued for such, though I am only half way there.

Technically, I've still got 4 weeks of season left, but with various Christmas parties that my wife wants to attend (she is a real trooper in not nagging me about hunting in all my spare time for the last 2 1/2 months, its the least I can do in return), taking myson snowboarding during his school break (thats his real passion)and the holidays in general, my hunting days will be fewer and farther between from this point forward.

So with the rut winding down and nothing to show for itand this 1 1/2 yo doe presenting me the perfect shot opportunity, I took it. 19.5 yard broadside shot. Good shot placement. Arrow falls out approx 30 yards from impact. Doe piles up about 100 yards from impact. Blood trail was excellent not that it was needed as I was able to see doe go down.

I mentioned this the other day. I am getting more and more comfortable with the Rage once I accepted the fact that I probably wasn't going to get a complete pass thru. But a partial with the arrow ready for inspection 30 yards down an excellent blood trail that continues all the way to the deer is a good trade off, IMO.

This one is for you Big Country. #5 and I hope to add to it before the season is over. My ego is not yet satisfied for the year.

This one was so young I decided to keep this one for myself so I was extra careful about minimizing the amount of hair that got on the meat.

This is the exit hole. It measured just over 2.75". I am not sure how a 2"blade does that, but I measured it twice to make sure.
