Missouri Doe Down-PICS ADDED-Thanks Mudd

[flatlander37]

Well fellas , it all seemed to come together for me tonight.  I was sitting in a tree stand by one of the food plots on the family farm.
    About an hour before dark a yearling and her mama came into the food plot and ate, and milled around.  I had a good 12 yard shot at the little one, but really wanted the mature doe for the freezer.  Five minutes later a young buck with love on his mind ran both of them out of the plot and into the woods at a run!  I figured they weren't coming back, and went back to reading my book.
    About 15 minutes later another doe and yearling came into the food plot.  After several minutes of eating, the mama gave me the angle I needed at about twenty yards.  All I remember is watching the fletching through the air as the arrow passed completely through her into the dirt beyond.  She took off across the plot, through the creek, and began up the hill before the stopped.  She twitched her tail a couple of times and went another ten yards, and was done.
    After waiting a bit, I got down and went for the four wheeler, and figured out that she was to heavy for me to load by myself.  Went back to the house for help, and my dad and I had trouble together getting her on the back of the ATV.  I don't think she is a 150#'er dressed out, but she was very heavy.  I will be posting pics in a couple of days when my little sister gets them to me, since our camera is dead at the moment.
    I would like to give thanks to Butch Speer for the Thunderstick Mag that I traded with him for, and Mark (aka DesertDude) for the STOS broadheads.  My setup is as follows: 58" Thunderstick Mag 55@28, Carbon Express Maxima 250, and a 160 grains STOS with a 100 grain insert.  Total arrow weight is 515 grains, with FOC of approximately 25%.

Guys, after many conversations with my dad, brother, and a couple of other buddies we have come to the conclusion that she probably did field dress about 150-160 pounds.  To remedy this in the future I am gonna buy a darn scale!!
