Got a nice doe
Went hunting this weekend and had a huge doe come in Saturday nught that I have been watching on camera.
Always traveled alone and didn't have a fawn.
She was 42 yards away standing broadside and I had a rest on the stand I was sitting in so I took the shot.
Arrow entered right behind the left front shoulder, hit a rib and angled upwards a little so the blood trail was steady but not great until the cavity filled to the entrance hole. The arrow hit the liver and lungs. I took my crossbow back to the cabin and climbed in the mule to get her... Tracked her about 70 yards through the brush until I lost the blood trail in the dark, so I went back out this morning and found the blood trail again and she was only another 20 yards farther. Brother in-law helped me and he said it was the biggest doe he has seen in years. She had up to 2 inches of tallow on her back and flanks. (probably because she wasn't nursing a fawn) Got her cut up and in the freezer today so now I can take my time hunting an oddball buck in the area - He has 5 points on the left with a double brow tine, 3 points on an antler coming out his right ear counting a sticker, and another 2 points on an antler coming out the back of his head.

You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
My enemy's friend is also my enemy.
