Title: I missed church
Post by: shoot-em-dead on September 20, 2009, 12:01:40 PM: Went out this morning and had spotted a doe from the truck about a mile out. Went after her and got 20 yds from two fork bucks in the area she was. On the way back to the truck I was in a bit of a hurry so I could be home in time to get a shower and go to church. I came around a rock bluff and jumped a doe in the bottom of the draw. I barked at her and she stopped and looked down the draw in the wrong direction so she heard me but didn't know I was right above her. Pulled the range finder up and she was 37 yds. I pulled the bow back and took carefull aim and let go. OH crap- the string hit my arm but I heard the hit. She took off and didn't go forty feet and then flopped over. I couldn't see her but she was down. Waited for ten minutes and looked for my arrow which I did not find and then went over to the deer. I was right that the arrow was off because I hit her in the throat slicing the wind pipe. Sorry for no pics on this one, My wife is at church and I have to get the hide off. She was a mature doe without fawns. Now my general tag is filled and that wraps up deer hunting for me so now I can concentrate on helping my 9 year old daughter getting her tag. She has made it clear that she is only going to shoot a buck.

My wife bought me my first bible about a year ago. It is camouflage and produced by Mossy Oak. The first 10 or 15 pages all deal with hunting and fishing and the bible. :)
