Went out yesterday and got a nice doe. This is a good time of year to be out in ohio, nice weather and the deer are pretty active. I was only on my stand for about 45 min. All the pressure is off now. I may bow hunt some and will definitely go out gun and muzzle loader season, but I probably won't spend as much time when its 20 degrees out as I did last year
She was about 50 yards away and facing me. I was in a 16 ft ladder stand. I tried a shot from the school of Art Eatman and aimed for the top of the white spot. She started to put her head down just as the trigger broke and I ended up hitting her right between the eyes. That works too, not tracking required!
Gun is a Lyman Great Plains rifle built from one of their kits. Its a .54 caplock and I shoot hornady .530 ball in an ox yoke patch over 90 grains of pyrodex select.
Not much of a pic, but you tell shes nice and fat.
