Default Finally got my second tag filled!

Well it took me a while to harvest a doe this year. I shot a 7 pt in Archery but could never close the deal on a doe. I shot a doe In the regular PA firearms season, but made a bad shot and unfortunately could not recover her. Well In the unit 2B, where I hunt, there is an extended season for a doe untill December 23rd. I took my 30-30 out last night to my uncles and decided to walk slowly and try to spot some deer in the snow, rather than sitting in the cold. Right before I was ready to call it a day, I caught some movement on the next ridge. Wow, the snow makes it so much easier to see deer! Anyways, there were 3 does working their way toward me and with light fading quickly, I managed to get in range right before dark and harvest one of them. Turns out the one I shot was a button buck, but I couldnt tell untill I started gutting. What an exciting hunt, that will be considered my first "spot and stalk" hunt!
