RE: Killing Does: Its The Cool Thing to Do
Ah, anyone can kill a doe. 4 pointers are more of a challenge. Those small targets are also harder to hit than some big ole fat doe.[8D][8D] Besides that, they have dragging handles on top of their head. I sat deep in the swamp the other day and had a doe that would have field dressed over 150 pounds. Believe it or not, she had a nice sized fawn with her. My first thought, How do I drag that big dang thing out of here with no handles. I let her go. It had nothing to do with the 45 yard quartering to shot.[&:][:'(]

Was this Wi and you each earned your sticker?

He was close last night, but we ran out of light unfortunately. We needed about another 5-10 minutes to seal the deal, but it was a no-go. Had two bucks, one on either side of us, and neither would get closer than 60 yards. That's life though!

Great Pics Justin, I was half correct that Mike would score this past weekend. I had him on a doe and a buck.
Tell him congrats for me. Congrats to you also.

It's amazing what a well placed arrow at 20 yards will do for your enthusiasm and confidence in your ability to make the shot when that monster is standing in front of you.
Nice does. Good looking pics....... congrats.
