Doe down this morning
 
After passing up several does and fawns the first couple times out I finally got a mature doe to come within range. Early this morning 3 younger does and a fawn came by offering easy shots, but I passed again hoping for something more mature. Almost straight up at 8am a nice mature doe came to my left at about 20 yds. Wouldn't you know it but the only limb hanging out from another tree was right in the way and I had to crouch down as I was already standing up. I shot a tad high and hit her low in the spine dropping her like a rock, but I had to climb down and finished her off with another shot. Not one of my best moments with the initial shot. Sorry about the pics...I totally screwed up when returning with a game cart and hitch hauler and due to quickly rising temps I took the photos with her tied up on the hauler, because I had taken my bow out of the truck while at home.....terrible pics I admit[:o]. Having her legs tied up makes her look smaller than she really is. Anyway, doe tied up on hitch hauler after returning home. Meat for the freezer!

Nice doe. Good thinking on letting the little one's walk. We all need to make sure we do that. Congrats!!!

Say Coug, question here about your hauler. Do you get any PETA types giving you looks or comments while that hauler has game on it?

That's a big doe! Her head looks almost as big as yours. And there's alot of meat on the shoulders. Nice shootin' Coug. Like Shultzy said, a killin shot is a killin shot. You got her.

I get hungry every time I see pics like this. I can't wait to eat some venison again.
