I let several doe pass this weekend while hunting in South Dakota. I wish the Black Hills District wasn't a one deer zone. Otherwise, a doe would have come home with me. I also finished the job another archer started. The bonehead took a frontal shot from 25 yards and arrowed a nice nine point through the neck (the arrow was dead center through the white neck/chin patch). It came by me and I could see the arrow protruding. The deer was hardly effected...certainly would not have died for several weeks. From 22 yards, I ended a very bad case of public relations. The young hunter thanked me and I let him take the deer (it was his first attempt at bow hunting). We had a discussion on shot placement before he departed....

I won't be in the deer woods until mid-November, unless I can sneak out for a day trip.

Good hunting everyone!
