At 12:15 this afternoon I got my Mule Deer Doe.We had an exciting day of hunting.We didnt see too many Doe that were shootable since the wind was not cooperating at all.All in all we saw close to 2 dozen deer and 3 were nice bucks,but I had a Doe tag to fill for the area.
I had dropped down into a canyon and left my Dad on the otherside so he could do some glassing.He spotted this Doe when I was in the bottom,as I came up to the top I saw her running,she was very skiddish sopping and running again aswell as zig zagging on top of the ridge.I had found a nice rock outcropping to use as a rest,it was almost like shooting at the range.The Doe finally stopped on top and turned broadside to me,she was between 250-300yds away.I put the crosshairs on her and she dropped like a sack of potatoes.I had gotten her right where the skull meets the neck.Dad was watching thru the binocs and he said he watched the tuft of hair fly then she just dropped.
We took some good pics of her then we cleaned her up,loaded her onto the packframe and I hauled her out on my back.It was a great day with my Dad.When we got to his house we hoisted her up in the shed and skinned her out.First thing in the morning we will be heading to the butcher.
I'll have the weight right after I get back but the pics should be up in the early afternoon.
