Hey guys, I was thinking of the attention that magnificent male specimens get due the their headgear and was wanting to see some of your outstanding female harvests?
What's your largest female taken in weight? Pics and stories would be great!

I'm not sure how much she weighed, but this was the biggest "doe" I have ever shot!

Kudu cow, shot 7/20/15 in South Africa!

Man those are some heffers Jim!!! I have harvested some nice mamas but no sense posting against those

Here's a pretty hefty doe from Kansas. My biggest came from Nebraska but unfortunately I don't have any pics.

All my big mamas have been elk, but by the time I'm near a scale it's only boned out meat!

I so rarely get a chance to post a pic.
Nice doe from two years ago I think. Hunted all season with my LB, took the recurve one day and bam. Still waiting on a LB deer.

Not sure if you only wanted to include deer species, but this may be my largest sow. Didn't scale her, but guessing around 250#. Haven't seen any real big doe around my place, but you never know.

Great pictures guys. Trad bow hunting at it's best

Great thread! Thanks for sharing.

I don't recall what this one weighed but she was one of the biggest does I've taken.

I shot a Big Ole Girl last year during the late season. We played cat and mouse for a good hour before she gave me a shot. It was one of those bitter sweet hunts. In the end I wish I hadn't taken the shot and had let her walk. An awesome animal.

I apologise for the all around lousy quality of this picture. It was colder than a witches behind on the evening I shot her, and all I could think about was getting her gutted, and heading for home.

Didn't think to take a pic til I was warm, and about half way home. By then, it was getting dark, so everything looks blueish. Then it got fuzzy when I resized it. Probably shouldn't even have posted it.

Anyway, I've killed a few that were a little bigger, but she was a good sized old girl.

Giant Nanny...didn't weigh as I had trouble getting her out and was done by the time I got her to the barn. For what it's worth, I am 6'3" 240# in that pic.

A big, fat lead cow. A couple hundred pounds of deboned goodness

KentuckyTJ · August 19, 2015, 11:24:00 AM

Bisch and Mike, that isn't fair! Haha

Our deer are well fed around here with all the corn, soybeans and lots of acorns. Here are a few from the past several years. I wish I had weights on them all but don't.

This one was the biggest one I ever killed. 153 lbs gutted, as I recall.

Some others

Awesome job and Great pics Tom!! Man I love me some big nannys!!

KentuckyTJ · August 19, 2015, 12:09:00 PM

Thanks Jarrod,

As we all know these mature does are most times much more keen than any buck. I really enjoy the cat and mouse game with them as much as with the bucks.

I remember quit a few years back we had an old doe on our farm that would hunt my brother and I down trying to make us. For several years he and I tried to kill her with her winning every battle. I finally killed her one year during the rut as she was running around me trying to get away from a buck. To this day I swear she knew I was there and just knew I would shoot the buck before her. Her mistake was under estimating how badly I wanted her. Haha. To date she is my most coveted trophy.
