Was very lucky on OCT 16th to harvest a small buck on the 1st day out.....since then (about 70 sits) very few deer encounters.
This past Monday morning I finally filled an additional archery tag as a nice young doe gave me a 20 yd broadside shot at daybreak!
This is the blood I found 5 feet from point of impact:
Amazing blood trail and was very surprized the recovery was 120 yds....she even jumped a fence 70 yds from the impact.
100 g spitfires...double lung full exit
Swampy area and she died in a large puddle.
Here she is....by myself so I removed front legs for easier toboggon pull out....also opened stomach to observe diet.
Very fortunate to have this deer grace my table this winter!!
