Nice report. Like Semi said, at least you saw a decent amount of deer. I really don't like hunting when it is that hot out- for me even 70 degrees is sweltering....

I'm not crazy about shooting does that have a fawn with them either. It's more of an issue for me in early season, though. Usually by later in the season the does are running together in groups and it is impossible to tell which yearlings belong to which mature doe. In that situation, I usually gun for the biggest doe in the group. I've heard that if a yearling's mother dies, another doe will take over. In any case, later on in the season they are always in groups, so taking 1 deer out of the group isn't going to affect anything...
