Sam16 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Shot a doe on October 3rd at 8:30 AM on our brand new 40 acre farm in Fulton County, IL. Smacked her at 25 yards, quartering away. She went about 80 yards, then took a right turn directly into a pond, and died in the middle. Made the retrieve a little tougher, but its a good story. The rage did the trick for sure! The guy in the picture with me is backwoods07 by the way, for all you regular Realtree'ers out there. He helped me with the tracking, rowed me out to my doe on the pond, and helped butcher our first deer. Awesome weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam16 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Backwoods07 and I have been hunting together for 4 years now or so... Finally took the plunge and decided to butcher ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwoods07 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Congrats again, Sam!! Glad to be there with ya. Nothing's better than a weekend on the farm, except maybe doing controlled burns on the farm. Edited October 6, 2009 by backwoods07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
