When I got up this morning, it was 2 degrees, with a 20 plus mph wind. After my second cup of coffee, I said "what the hell" and bundled up like the Michelin man. When I got to where I park, two does were feeding about 50 yards away, and seemed unconcerned, so again I said "what the hell" and walked right toward them. One hesitated too long, got an arrow, and was down in 20 yards. Shortest and least complicated hunt I have ever had, except that gutting her was no fun in the brutal weather. I would show a picture, but the camera froze up. Once again, my Morningstar, Hill heads and cedar arrow make meat.
I think that they must have been as frigid as I was.
Not much of a story, but meat is in the freezer.

If it was 2 degrees and windy, that hunt lasted long enough. As the saying (kind of) goes, "She who hesitates, is lost."  Congratulations on the fresh venison.

Awesome hunt! Wish it was always that easy
I'd rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6

Sometimes the hardest part is getting in the truck but you gotta be there to make it happen. Congrats on a fitting day! Happy Veterans Day.

You are the man! First of all Thank you for your service to our country and then to your community as a police officer. It was 32 here in SW Mo. and I chose to stay home and get chores out of the way. Hats off to you Sir. Congrats on the meat in the freezer

I hate pulling my bloody hands out of a  warm body cavity while gutting in those temps.

Congrats on your Doe.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
