Saving...
First Deer of 2012
She came in about 6:40 tonight, her, another good size doe, and 4 smaller deer. My shot was a little far back and high….luckily the 200 grain Ace heads I am using (they are huge) cut the artery that runs along her back….the blood trail was not necesary. She walked 20 yards, and stood there for a few minutes. The other deer just milled around watching her. I could see her, but frankly, I wasn’t sure which deer was her and which were her herd-mates. I didn’t have a shot anyway, so I just quietly waited. Eventually she just toppled over. What could have been a long ugly trailing job was short and easy…like I said, I got lucky.
Hey my friend…Nice Doe. I would like to give that beagle a try…. I think we could still shoot our limit if the dog can keep up…
Let’s get together after Deer season..
Thanks Don! We need to chase some bunnies for sure!!
