Big Ohio Doe Down

My First Adult Doe!

Got her Sat. during the Extra Weekend Thanks to the ODNR.

My Dad had left shortly before to make a drive down to me when I heard the dry leaves crunching, but I couldn’t place where the sound was coming from or see any movement in front of me. I heard it again and turned around to look behind me, it was a Doe and Fawn at 40 yards and still slowly coming my way, but they were cautious and looking around. They were coming up on my right so I waited until they started moving to turn for a shot. Finally after a couple minutes the Doe was in an opening, but passed through kind of quick so I moved to the

next opening and she was in it in no time, so I pulled the trigger.

She dropped in her tracks!

But talk about trying to make me feel guilty afterwards. The Fawn that

was with it, ran right up to me and stopped at 15 yards and started bleating

at me. It stood there for a couple minutes doing it too. In that time I

noticed there were other deer coming up from behind me also. They must have been with the Doe I shot. It looked like another Big Doe, one from last year

that we had seen, she has a White Spot on her side so she's pretty

Identifiable. So her and 2-3 more Fawns took off back down into the woods and the one

in front of me followed also, but came back afterwards.

She was heavy! 10 Yards of dragging and my Dad and I left her and headed back to get the truck to get her out! Lol

Didn't notice it when I shot but she had a Broken Foot, walked pretty normal though.
