Congrats. Great story.

Some similar lessons for me this year. Not always as straight forward as we think.

Way to go. The smile on your face in the last pic says it all.....priceless!

Congrats, Mike!

I've been trying very consistently up in Central Illinois, but have gotten nothing but C-O-L-D. Seeing deer regularly, but they always seem to choose the paths that keep them safely out of range.

Three days left... I'm glad you put it all together with your doe!

Congradulations! You done good....

One thing I have learned regarding any hit critter "If in doubt back out".

Way to go sir!

Congrats on an awesome hunt.I dont know how you resisted stalking up on her when she kept getting up and going down but as we see it was the right thing to do.Sounds like a rewarding hunt.
