Smoked another Whitetail 2nite(:
Got my 1st doe of the season. 1st one I have wanted to shoot, as I have been trying to get another buck with my 2nd MO buck tag, and I like having the does around my stand for decoys. Decided to play with the camera tonight..in no hurry so I took alot of pics.Gotta love this state of MO..lots of deer on the farm I hunt..and doe tags over the counter for a nonresident for a whopping $7.00. I went to church 2day and decided I was going to get a doe for the HUSH program(hunters feeding the hungry food pantry) as a Christmas present to the needy, and I did. She came up to my left and I shot her at 15 yds from 30 ft up and I smoked her through the heart. Shot her with15 minutes of legal shooting light left. She did a mule kick when I shot her and after two full seasons of never ruining an A/C/C arrow..she broke it as she kicked or stepped on it. I watched her run right straight away from my stand on a dead run, with 3 other does,and I watched her just pileup 60 yds away ina picked cornfield; one little kick, and done. Quite a bloodtrail..pretty impressed with the Slick Tricks this year. A MO buck tag to go and hopefully a yote yet with the bow. The 07 Guardian is smokin this year, Bowtech Rocks!!!. An elk in NM, a 9 point buck in MO, an 11 point buck in MN, and now this mature doe. All complete passthrus with my 1st season of stepping down to a 60# bow. Love the 60#er and lovin life. Thanks God and God Bless you all!!
