Well I filled a doe tag along with my father on friday. Its his first deer in 8 years. We've had a slow season while helping my 13 yr old brother tag out in archery and rifle. So after not seeing anything all week we twisted my brothers arm to do a small drive for us. We were standing for all of 2 min and 3 doe ran out in front of us 200 yds. We each pulled up freehand and let it fly. We both connected with big doe. They started running so I put one extra shot into each one on the run. Both lung shots freehand at 250. I spent all day cutting yesterday. I know they are only doe but I had my favorite people to hunt with and in 20 years I've never been with my father when he got a deer. This time I was shoulder to shoulder with him. This will stick with me better then any big buck ever will. Tomorrow is promised to no man. I appreciate everyone of these hunts as we don't know how many more we will be blessed with.
