At 610pm had 7 does out in front of me picked one of the nicer ones (frist one to turned broad side). Double lunged her and watchd her run 30 yards and pile up.

Good eating ahead.

Congrats...... I have only been out a few times so far. Hope to have 1 or 2 in the freezer by Thanksgiving.

Good job! She'll be nice in the freezer.

I got a cow elk a few weeks back, and she's great!

Excellent! It's always nice when you can see them pile up.

I live/hunt in west Tennessee and it's been almost too hot to think about hunting and there's been way too much green growth in the woods.

With the way it is my area, the sawbriars and grape vines are so darned thick, a deer could jump ten feet off the trail and be invisible.

I've been practicing a lot and shooting well, but I know that deer can run even well hit, and I don't want to lose an animal.

But I've had trail cameras out and getting some nice animals on the cards. So I'm thinking that I'll be making a similar post before too long....

The first few cool evenings would be a great time to get out.

It was so hot here in CO in elk season that we had to bone out our kills, hang them out at night to chill and bury them in the day. (We were out in a wilderness area.)

The heat delayed the rut, but there was plenty of normal feeding activity. Just get the meat taken care of quickly in the heat.
