IL Doe Down!!

Well It's been a tough season for me. The second weekend I hit a 135" 8 p. that I eventually lost after 7 hours of searching. 2 weeks ago I lost a doe that I hammered and she bled and bled and bled. I thought she wouldn't go 80 yards and ended up tracking her over 400 and never did find her. Well last night I redeemed myself. It was just before 6 when I had a big doe step out 20 yards to my right into a cut bean field. I made up my mind that even though the rut is getting kicked off her in IL, I was going to take her if she gave me the chance. She began feeding towards me and I thought she was going to offer me a 20 yard broadside shot. Well it turns out she turned and fed straight away from me. She go to 40 yards and turned broadside. I drew and settled my pin and let the 340 grain Easton Epic St. tipped with a 100 gr. Muzzy Broadhead fly. She ducked my arrow and I ended up spine shooting her. She dropped instantly but I had to do the ethical thing and finish her off. When we dressed her I caught the top of one lung so she would have died eventually, but I had to do the ethical thing. She field dressed out at 130 pounds so she was a pretty good sized doe and I ended my run of bad luck of losing deer. I was pretty jacked!!

Here is a picture of her.
