I' m pretty pumped. It' s my 4th year in a row that I filled a doe tag early in the season.

This doe snuck up on me and when I noticed her she was 10 yards broadside looking at me and her tail was going up. I figured she was gone but she looked back in the direction she came. I got ready for the shot, she took a few more steps and I gave her the ' baaa!' to stop her. I aimed, curled my finger but i didn' t have my finger on the release! I have to be the only moron to ever do that! She gave me time though. It was only an 8 yard shot so it was as easy as they get. I thought I hit her high but the exit would was perfect. She only went about 50 yards.

I shot her deep into some very hilly public land. While I was hunting a friend of mine was at my house watching tv so I recruited him to help me drag the deer. Turns out he was only along for moral support. He wouldn' t even touch the deer. Except for one time when I got hung up on a log he took one of his socks off and used it as a glove!!!!!!!!! He only touched the hoof and didn' t touch the deer for more than 5 seconds. That is the only time he touched the deer in 1.5 hours!!!!! This guy is 6' 7" 350+ pounds and he' s the biggest wussy I know. The highlight of the night had to be watching him biff it on a log and land in a pile of branches. He went down hard and let out a huge scream. It would have funnier if I didn' t get such a view of his plummers crack.

Anyway, she' ll taste good. Good luck all!
