Well, since i have never been accused of being in my right mind
!["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")
I figured i might as well go to the woods. I was hunting on the edge of a green field from the ground. Anyone that knows me can tell ya that i ain't made for hunting on the ground. I move around way to much and i just don't have any confidence in it. This hunt was a kind of spur of the moment deal so i went to my cousins farm where he has permanent blind on the edge of a field. He has a problem with the deer destroying his crops and asked me to come over fill some crop damage tags for him. The blind was made for gun hunting but with the proper twisting i could shoot out of it. I had been in the blind about 2 hours when i looked of to my left and a group of 8 does started coming into the field. I waited for them to move out in front of the blind where i could shoot. Finally this doe walked out broadside at 10 yards and gave me the shot i had been waiting for. The snuffer took out both lungs and she barely made it 60 yards before going down within sight.
I shot her with my Zipper recurve, easton axis 500 arrow with a 125gr snuffer. Total arrow weight was 399gr and i found the arrow burried in the ground about 10 yards behind her. :D

Charlie, Thanks bud. You would think it would just bounce right off. This deer must have been a weakling i guess.
Vance, I ain't got any freezer space left. I gave this one to my uncle. His family eats alot of deer and he was happy to get it.
Joe, Season here lasts until Feb. 4th this year. In the past, season has always went out on jan 31st.
This is the latest in the season that i have ever killed a deer. And my first in the snow with a bow. I think i'll go back out one more time before season ends. I still have one statewide antlerless tag left and a guy at work said he would like to have a deer as he didn't get to hunt much this year due to illness. Might as well try to help the guy out! :D

It's single digits here with sustained NW winds 25 mph or so. Gusts over 40. A buddy of mine talked me into going coyote hunting this afternoon. I'll probably be so bundled up I'll look like that little kid from "A Christmas Story".
