Well It Wasn't The Buck I Was Hoping For.....

Sometimes you just have to go with your Gut literally haha.

Yep, and mine was grumbling for some "sloppy doe" sammiches!

Thanks again folks!

Been trying to get through the memory card from that camera location, deleting the blanks, coons, etc. As I've been looking at the pictures I've been wondering which one was the doe I shot. I'll eventually figure out exactly which one she was. I know I will this next week when I pull the card because it will have at least the before and after of when I shot on there.

Thanks Dennis! The county where our farm is located is kind of restricted. With the crossbow though I can take 1 buck and 3 does (firearms are more restricted). The bad thing about it is that it's 1.5 hours away from the house. I recently got a place to hunt up here by the house though. I timed it one time coming back from squirrel hunting. It took me 3 minutes. This county, due to it's high human population, high deer population, and the number of high traffic roads, is one of the most liberal harvest counties in the state. We've got an unlimited doe harvest here. There's other guys hunting on the property here, so I'm not wanting to mess them up and they are all family, so I'm the odd man out. Figured I'd wait until after the gun season was over and most everyone was done deer hunting and then see if I could pop a few more does up here.
