the weather was steady this week so i figured the deer would be on the same schedule unless something spooked them. i see the first small doe around the exact same time as my first hunt where my string broke. i was in the same tree and the deer walked the exact same path so i was ready when she stepped into my shooting lane. 11-12 yard shot and i watched her run 60-70 yards before tipping over. the black crimson talon made a nice blood trail considering my shot was a bit high. but, double lungs works for me :wink:

this was by far the biggest doe in that bush and the largest i have shot. VERY smart girl that remembered our first encounter and was super cautious and watched me the whole time. if i didnt have my bow in that position before they got within 60 yards there was no way id be able to move. she was watching me like a hawk and stomping the whole time. but, descenting properly and not moving at all put the odds in my favor.

use the shop vac and table saw for scale. the rafters are probably 7-8ft from the floor. any guesses on weight?

yes, she is tagged in her right ear.

Yes that is a big old girl and is probably 10+ years old. I will hazard a guess that even the burger is going to be tough and chewy. :cheers:
 
ya thats a big doe. I've shot one like that, she was 180lbs dressed, had two big fawns with her that were almost the same size, the gobs of fat I pulled out of her was unreal. I thought she was an old doe as well, Congrats.

heh...the fat was 1 1/2" thick in some spots.

the only tough deer meat ive had is stuff that wasnt handled or cooked properly so i have no worries at all about eating this one. ;)
 
Oh My Goodness.:eek: You've killed the biggest doe in North America. Was your quad able to handle the weight? Did it power out?

is this some weak attempt at making a funny? if so, i highly recommend you work on your material ;)

i'd have no problem hauling a POS popo and this deer out of the bush at the same time in 2wd. :p:cool:

I disagree. In fact, it doesn't look any larger than a typical white tailed doe, to me anyway. Unless the does in and around Brantford are smallish in size, this does is average, at best.

And yeah, clean up that shop - that's embarrassing..

Good job on the doe!
