Re: Opening Day Doe!
Thanks folks!
Yeah, she should be right tasty. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Thanks again!
I was using the 125 grain Swhackers.
They did a good job and I'm happy with what I saw on the the carcass and on the innerds. The only reason the arrow didn't completely pass through is that I hit big leg bone on the opposite side.

To be a vegetarian is to listen to the live carrot gradually screaming as it drowns in a pot of boiling water …. Which is more ethical to you ?? :roll: :lol:

Re: Opening Day Doe!
It was close but I think Hankenhunter has the honors of the first fall season deer post, but Big58 has the first doe. Just under two weeks to go now for us in MO. Hopefully we won't have a hurricane to deal with on our opening weekend. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

If you really want to get "technical" about it, mine was on the ground probably before Hank even got up out of bed.bigredopie wrote:It was close but I think Hankenhunter has the honors of the first fall season deer post, but Big58 has the first doe.

Yeah, hopefully the hurricanes/tropical storms are done and won't mess with anyone elses hunting this year. It finally started raining around here today and has been at it most of the day. Hope the farm has been getting wet as well, so it can wash the blood and my scent away.

Good luck to all of you folks who's seasons will be opening soon!

Great job! That's what I call a "fork tender" deer.
