I was standing in a thicket between a couple poplar trees. First there were three gobblers. Then there were 4 does in front of me feeding in my food plot. Across the field I spotted 2 larger does. One had a bob-tail!
I waited and waited. My shot was with her quartering toward me just a bit and her head was down to feed.
After the shot she ran to the other side of the field and just stood there. The 4 does in front of me stayed put!!
This caused me to believe I missed, but I knew I heard the arrow hit.

I finally had to bark like a dog to get them to leave. I found my arrow stuck ina log covered with blood.

An hour later I started tracking and finally found my big doe with the bob-tail!
Upon inspection her tail did not seem to be cut or broken. Just grown short; about 3-4 inches.
She was hit slightly high (where I aimed) behind her left shoulder and it came out low on the right side. Double lunger.

Here's the tail.

GREAT JOB, Keith!

Glad you're seeing lots of deer. It's slow in my woods, right now. I need 'em to cut the beans!

Never seen one like that before. Congrats on the doe!

Me either. Maybe it was cut or broken off a year or so ago? I don't know, but it looks like it just grew that way.

congrats!! that tail is pretty neat!

thats perty cool, Congrats!

Nice doe cntry, how far did she go with both lungs being hit?

Very cool farm, unique deer and a neat one to take. It's something else to make a doe special. I had one, one year, the tail was white when down. Looked like a mulie doe....I saw her twice and that's it.
