First cool afternoon of the season=doe down.
 
I was in my stand for all of ten minutes when this doe, another doe, and a fawn fed to within 15 yds. of my tree. I let my arrow go when she turned perfectly broadside at took her through both lungs. She piled up in sight after running 50 yds. I shot her with a two blade Rage and got the large entry/exit and great blood trail everyone has been talking about. I left for our lease at 3:10 and was on my sofa eating supper with her off the bone and in the fridge by 6:45, I am loving it! It will be tenderloins and eggs in the morning.:D I am so happy it cooled off.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I am very pleased with how the afternoon went. I am going to try for one more doe before concentrating on trying to kill a buck. I have got to help my team out;).

Way to go Brett, nice nanny. Enjoy breakfast. All we saw tonight was does as well. Not moving like we thought but it didn't cool that much. Tonight into tomorrow is another story!

You're either a little guy.....or that's a whopper doe!

I'd be willing to hazard the second as the case.:D



Congrats!

You would be right, at 6'1" and 230 lbs., I'm not as little as I used to be. There was a time where most of that weight was solid, now I'm suffering the ill effects of the triple whammy; a wife that loves to cook, the fact that I love to cook, and worst yet, the fact that I love to eat!;)

Not to be Joe negative.... but doesnt the "doe" have nubs coming out.... Maybe the pic is just misleading. Either way congrats on a fine bow kill!

No the doe doesn't have "nubs" coming out of her head. It was a mature doe with no signs antler growth and all the right "equipment" to be female.

fatsbucknut-Thank you. His name is Scotch and he is a nine year old Lab male. He used to work for a living when I was more into waterfowl and upland hunting. Now he makes a living guarding the house and his food bowl.;)

gutshot-Sorry bud, my wife, our two teenage sons, and I made short work of the t-loins and eggs this morning. By request, it is looking like bacon wrapped, thick cut loin steaks for supper tonight. If you can make it from WV in time, you are more than welcome to join us.:D

Congrats on the fresh protein! I see you shot her with a pretty hot rig. Good to see you had her broken down and in the deep freeze real fast, she will obviously eat real well. best of luck for the balance of the season, your off to a great start! DFA
