Late Illinois Doe

This doe came in with a handful of others just before 8:00 this morning. They all milled around for a while before starting to move on and this doe finally gave me a good shot. Fifteen yards, quartered away from a natural ground blind with my GN Critter Gitter, Surewood fir arrow and a Grizzly ElGrande 200. Hit was a little back and high, but a solid liver hit with some far lung. She made it about 80 yards and was found in the bean field. I waited an hour before tracking; probably needed just a couple of minutes if that. She is my first single bevel kill and I am impressed; the hole in her liver was huge.
Here is a deer's eye view of my blind.

Thanks guys! She is my second for the season; both from the same blind and about 2 months apart with lots of tree sits in between. This blind is my #1 north wind spot and you can bet that I'll have it set up for next fall. Life is good!

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
