2 does at the same time
my cousin shot 2 does back to back friday afternoon. Last day of doe season, two walked up to about 30yds from our stand and he took a great shot right to the shoulder. Dropped dead on the spot. The other ran about 20 yds then stopped. He shot this one in one side and out the other. It ran away then came right back and dropped dead by the stand. Great weekend for some meat. The first one was about 170lbs and the second one was about 80lbs.

RE: 2 does at the same time
this is just an estimate i had before field dressing. I could be wrong but i don't think it is by too much. It took both of us to drag her out of the woods. I guess either one of us could have done it by ourselves but no need since we were both there. Like i said it is just an estimate. She was pretty big

nice shooting on his part. but i highly doubt that the doe went anywhere near 170 lbs, even less so because you're in Alabama. a 150 lb doe around here is huge, and we get some big deer. i shot one doe that went 145, and she was huge, had triplets with her. old one. I think you grossly misestimated the weight.

170 lb ? That would be the bigist doe I have ever seen
I didn't realize they had does in Alabama that went 170 even before field dressing

ok ok ok!!! I don't really care what size she was. The point i'm trying to make is that he killed two at once, a big one and a small one. Sorry if i offended anybody if I overestimated the weight. Just for arguments sake she was 50lbs and the other one was 20lbs.

RE: 2 does at the same time
Probably mother and daughter. My dad did this once and I've had several instances where I shot a large doe and the smaller one with her just stood there. I'd bet there is a good chance that the smaller doe was a yearling from the larger one. Great shooting to drop both, and the meat from the yearling will be OUTSTANDING!
