My best friend and I have been hunting these cornfields near his house in a somewhat urban area for about a month off and on. We have seen a couple of blacktail bucks one was real nice. He also saw a monster blacktail when he went out scouting. Well anyways we have seen probally 20 does to go with the few bucks and today was my last day to hunt this year so I said that I would shoot any deer as long as it wasn't a fawn. Tonight with about 10 minutes of light left to shoot we spotted a doe about 30 yards away from us in the brush. So I decided that I was going to shoot. I had to fine a shooting lane. I had to shoot kneeling down through a gap in the brush the size of a basketball. I made the shot, a good one it went through both lungs. The deer was kicking and thrashing about. So I put another arrow in her through the heart and finished her off.
It looked like a descent size doe all by herself. But when i got up to her she seemed little. My 14 year old best friend and I were able to drag it a couple of miles or so easily and we gutted it by ourself, and it was both our first time cleaning an animal without any help.. I was just curios what the average blacktail doe weighs.
The fun part was calling up my dad and asking him to come pick me up in the truck. He had quite the grin on his face when he knocked on the door.
