Having start my new job, I've only had two chances bow hunt and came up empty handed. With season coming to an end, my best friend's dad called and asked if I wanted to shoot a couple of does. I jumped at the chance.
I should grabbed my .44 mag or even one of my slug guns, but I wasn't taking any chances, so I grabbed my trusty Remington .300 winny.
Got in the stand around 2:00 and already had deer in the area. The didn't seemed too bothered by us. Within 10 mins, my son and I counted 20 deer.
We watched them for a couple of hours or so and then I decided to pull the trigger.
The first mature doe was facing me eating with her head down. I took this opportunity to not waste any meat. I put the crosshairs in the middle of her forehead and touched one off. She didn't move a muscle after that.
A few deer scattered. Most of them stayed. Saw another healthy mature doe at about 150 yards off, quartering away. Put one behind her shoulder and it came out her neck. She ran a whooping 10 feet.
All in all, I have meat and my son Ethan got to dad in action.
