A little late season luck.
« on: January 28, 2008, 04:37:00 PM »

Bow season here in Ohio ends SuperBowl Sunday. Last year I killed an 8 point on the last hour of the last day. This season , I decided to get done early and killed a doe this past Thursday, the 24th.
It was 12 degrees and windy. This was the 4th deer through and she busted me drawing the bow. As I let go, she whirled toward me and I caught the last couple of ribs. She did not go far before lying down.
I eased out and waited until morning to recover her. It isnt one of our giant Ohio bucks, but I am always thrilled to kill a deer late in the season in less than ideal weather conditions. There is almost something spirtual about nearly freezing to death in order to kill a deer.
My trusty Lewis Hollow 3 piece did the trick once again!

Thanks guys! VTer that is the Realtree Snow camo. The jacket is older- maybe 12years. I dont get to wear it much, but I love it when I do!
