Came home empty handed by choice. My buddy saw a nice buck but it was a bit further than he felt comfortable shooting. I had a nice doe in my scope for several minutes on Sunday night just before it got dark.

I could see two more near her but they looked really small. I let them all eat in peace and just watched. I didn't feel like taking a chance on tracking that close to sunset and leaving a yearling to fend for itself. I shot a "mommy" one year and never felt good about it.

Ive already have meat in the freezer and i really did not have a NEED to fill a cheap $7 tag. Another friend got a monster buck with his bow but he doesn't care for venison except summer sausage so ive got a bunch more on its way.
