I made my ailing wife feel better today...I finally killed the "B*tch that eats all her flowers"!! :mad: (or at least the MOTHER of all the ones that do!)
With little time to spare for hunting this season, I decided with all the guns booming around the area to just go behind my house and bowhunt the "locals", something I NEVER do. We've had this one particularly big doe living on our property for years now and she's raised many a fawn at my wife's landscaping expense. I knew where she spent most of her time, and headed for there and set up there near a blowdown in the icy pre-dawn calm.
Luckily, it wasn't long in the 15 degree chill before I had action. There was no doubt that it was her coming along the trail followed by her most recent prodigy, so I decided to christen my new Bear Supreme TD and from 18 steps, slid a big cedar sliver tipped with a vintage razorhead behind her shoulder- ending the reign of the long-standing matriarch. She only went about 60 yards, and the "princess" never had a clue what happened until I emerged from my ground blind.
It's always hard to judge the size of game w/ me in the picture at a mere 325#
, but you can believe she is one big momma! I estimate she was at least 7.5 and still in prime condition.
When the wife is happy, I'm happy....of course, now I'm told I have to get the "Princess" as well, because she knows where all the Hasta plants are too!!
