Big doe down! Shot a nice big doe first thing this morning. I was in the stand maybe 20 minutes. The TC Encore hit her hard at about 60 yards, she went about 100 yards down hill and piled up. cool.gif

Chris and I are cutting her up tomorrow. cool.gif

Yep, I heard that shot and just shook my head. I can't buy a deer this year. grin.gif I don't know if Tom's the luckiest son of a gun, or that good. Maybe a combination of the two. He actually hit this one where you're supposed too. Quartering away up through the ribcage with no exit wound. It was a big doe, field dressed around 115.

Highlight of my day was around 8:30 as I was sitting looking down into a bedding area when I heard grunting behind me. I turned around to see a doe trotting right at me. As I turned, she stopped probably 10 yards away, and there was a decent 8pt buck running her, nose to the ground. The doe's fawn was 30 yards distant. I slowly tried to take off my left glove as a left handed shot was all I had. She bolted at the movement. I probably could have rushed a shot at the buck, but he wasn't quite big enough. I had the fawn dead to rights but passed on her as she would have field dressed at about 30# I think. grin.gif

Another guy in our party hit a doe on the run, and we trailed it for quite a ways, but lost the blood trail.

Hoping to get out Friday, but it's not looking good. frown.gif

Thanks again Tom. grin.gif

Smashed truck for a doe--"good trade."

So, we're even? I'll tell Kim she can get her wedding band replaced then. cool.gif

Deer for dents, that's too easy. Me shooting a doe is like anyone else picking up a penny from a parking lot, it happens almost every time you go out. Good trade. cool.gifgrin.gif
