Congrats on the doe. Hopefully one of those ladies will be towing a buck in for you guys.

This time of year I don't shoot does no matter what color the tarsals are. Just don't want to booger up the area with a running deer and tracking and dragging.

Good luck out there you guys.

Good stuff, Rob....and thanks. I watched a few getting dogged this week. I needed him to come in a "little" closer the other night.....but he didn't.

Hunting.

Matt alluded to it, but there were no worries here... he had a friendly "spotter" in his guide who not only showed him the tree to get in, but was watching the approach from over 400 yards away from a block of timber and counting down the minutes until he saw them... Let's just say we were absolutely sure there wasn't anything else trailing behind. It almost wasn't fair. [8D]

I want to kill a couple does out here.........but I'm paranoid of doing it at the same time.
I hear ya! I had 11 does and fawns pass within 15 yards of my stand this morning but I just hated to shoot one. None were as big as that monster doe you took. Like Greg its from the same stand I took a doe from a few weeks ago.

Good luck and keep us posted. Warmer weather is moving in.....kinda sucks IMO.

The power of Predator camoflauge... you can't even see the glove can you?

If you look closely, you can see Matt's hand there supporting her head (which weighed about 14 lbs, he said ), and she had a LOT of loose skin on her neck... told you she was a fatty!
