I got the buck home, skinned, cut up and in the freezer. I had a couple honey-do's to get done, then headed back to the blind to try for a doe.

I got in the blind at 3:30. I had a few PBS magazines to read to pass the time, and I needed to get caught up on my reading.

I caught movement out the shooting window at 4:30. While I was reading, a doe slipped in. She was close, 7 yards!
 
Hope and I bloodied another arrow.

The shot looked good. I could see her standing about 50 yards from the blind. All I could see was her back and rear. Her head must have been down. I was worried a bit.

I crawled out of the blind to get a better view, and to check my arrow. Arrow had bubbles on it, so I know I hit lung. I looked where she was, but couldn't see her. I snuck up over the rise, and she was down. I glassed her and could see that she was breathing, but her head was down. I backed out, and jumped in the blind for 15 minutes to give her time.

While field dressing, I found out I had hit the 7th rib, VPA broke it like a toothpick, then through one lung, out the intestines, then out between the 8th and 9th ribs. She was broadside. I just wonder if that arrow glanced a bit when it hit the first rib, or she spun so fast that the arrow got into her stomach? My friend watched it all from his blind, and thought I missed her. It happened so fast.

Hope will be heading to MI to give Denny Sturgis Jr a visit in September.

Be sure to stay tuned in for Miss Hope's next adventure. I bet it will be a good one!  :campfire:
