I shot this doe in Putnam County Sunday evening on the last day of archery season at 6:00 with my Matthews Chill-X and Grim Reapers. Had six minutes of legal shooting time left when she came by. I had actually seen a good buck around 5:00, but he was about 120 yards through the woods and heading the wrong direction.

This doe wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but sometimes you have to take what the good Lord gives you. 35 yard double lung and she literally went 15 yards and tipped over.

It would have been a lot easier to stay home and watch the Colts, but I knew I had to give it one last try. Glad I went out even those it was snowing with 20+ mph winds. Wind chill at dark was 7 degrees. Great hunt. Counting the days until October 1st!

Congrats. Tough hunting weather for sure.

Good for you. I hunted the last 17 days with all day 12 hour sets to get in a last quick 200ish hours.
