Well we for sure got 'em in Tennessee.

Great deer ya got there.

It brought back flashes from last year when my wife killed her deer on opening a.m. I bought her all new gear, her first set of camo, boots, everything. I bought her her first new gun (her choice ). She chose a rem. 7400 carbine in 30.06 w/ a new nikon scope, and I built her a new tower stand.

About 7:30 am she shot, scaring the hel- out of me ( her stand is only about 200 yards from me ) , and calls me on the radio about 5 minutes later saying she killed one. I ask her if she wants me to come get it. She says she already dragged it out of the way. Oh ! ok. I wondered about that, cause she is only like 5'1" and 120 lbs. But ok. whatever.

I go to get her at lunch time, and back the truck up to get the deer, she had drug it into the bushes. Get to the back of the truck , look in the bushes, and honest ... it was smaller than yours. I mean we are talking small. maybe 50 lbs. Picked it up with one arm, and put it in the bed of the truck. I asked her why she shot one so small, and she said it looked bigger in the scope. LOL... She had hunted in the past, 742 woodmaster but with open sights only. She swears she thought it was a grown deer.. I had to laugh.

But that thing sure was tender.... Good eating.

Congrats on your deer - Bon Appitite'

SteveO...coupla good sandwiches there..hee hee.. good show

Ya'll are killin me. Im a so serious Dudes that is a good sized deer. I promise!! hahaha. I have to laugh everytime I check this post. Where I am thats a big doe. I swear hahahaha. One time I took my best friend huntin he had never killed a deer before. Well I put him in his stand and I went to mine. I heard him shoot so I got down. Went to his stand and he wasnt there I saw him coming up the field. He said go get the fourwheeler I killed one I was like alright. Went and got it drove up to the deer and no kidding I picked this thing up with one hand and tossed it from about 5 feet onto the fourwheeler. 40 lbs is what that thing weighed. That doe I killed will go 70-75. We dont have deer that get over 120 lbs. Seriously. I just think its funny that everybody is like,"Nice deer....how'd you kill it? Did you step on it while you were walking to your stand?"

Your wife isn't the only one that's done that. I was watching a couple of does walk through a Christmas tree farm about five years ago. They were out about fifty yards so I setupto take a shot down one of the rows. After about thirty seconds one walks into my scope and I think "man, she's big". I settle the crosshairs in her ear and squeeze. She dropps in place. There she is, all sixty pounds. She was only two tree rows over from me and walked between me and the other does I was watching, but I didn't notice because I was looking through the scope. Now I always open the other eye before I shoot.

I have killed serveral 250+ whitetails, and the drag is no fun, LOL

Well when you are draggin a deer the weight is a little more spread out. With a hog its like draggin a chunk of lead. My friend killed his first last year. Long story short. We walked into the middle of about 15 bedded down it was raining. They spooked he shot one with my 270. (I had my bow) and we drug it out of the woods. Around 1 mile from the truck. Oh it was lovely. Splendid just splendid. It weighed about 175 I guess. And to tell you the truth that was the worst time I have ever had draggin any animal out of the woods.

That is a nice looking doe, congrats!

Nice Doe. All of them in our area run small too. Nothing wrong with that. We had my son's last one aged at 3 1/2 years and it weight 104 dressed. That is in Richland county WI. Anyway Congrat's on an good eating deer.

Congrats SteveO! My 1st bow deer was about the same size and I am still very proud of her.
