2008 Angry Doe

This doe saw me as I turned my head to check out a sound. She stamped and snorted and ran off, but turned around when I called her back. After 10 minutes of this, she finally turned to the side and gave me a decent shot. As I found out later, the bullet passed through the top of her heart, though she was still able to run over 100 yards. After field dressing, I dragged her another 100 yards up a steep hill. I used my Winchester 94 with Remington 30.30 170gr Core-Lokt soft points.

Dude i know exactly what you went through on draggin that deer.. Last year i shot a big doe and she ran about 70 yrds away from me down hill.. I about had a heart attack pulling her up it and she was even field dressed.. I did have a harness on with a rope around her neck.. I pulled and stopped every 10 ft just to catch my breath LOL.. But hey its good times.

[nivnoggin]

Yeah, it's all part of the fun. I'm already looking forward to this season.

did you mean to shoot it in the guts

[nivnoggin]

The exit hole looks like it's a bit far back, but it entered right behind the shoulder, through the heart and never touched any of the guts.

Mine went 60 yards and had to drag her about 100 yards over somewhat flat ground. Field dressing would have made it an easier drag. Those deer are tough. Good job.

After moving my doe out of a small rocky depression, I dressed her cause I didn't want the extra weight. The rest of the drag was so hilly and steep I was wiped out after getting her in the truck. Luckily I had a bit of rope to make a handle with her leg.

sometimes i wish deer would run all the way to truck and then tip over!

deer hunting is so cool,,, take your old lady and nail her against a tree,, the bucks will come from miles around... then BAM BAM BAM enough meat for the year.. it works,, and if you have already done this,disregard

@fishnkid1923 Man all does are angry stomping and snorting around acting up and stuff,thats why I go deer hunting!

[fishnkid1923]

Wounded deer always run downhill,and the doe wasnt angry,she stomped and snorted to try to get you to move or do something,she wasnt sure what you were and she was seeing if you were a threat..i had a doe do this and then after a few minutes she just walked on..you should get a bow

[lacore1988]

[goobermccreedy]

good lord you people have issues if you think draggin a 150 lb deer is a chore, sounds like you need to get a job where you actually do some MANUAL LABOR christ almighty, if its that much of a pain STOP HUNTING!

[g18marine]

yea i always gut it on the spot makes everything so much eaier but last year me and my dad shot a nine point buck and had to drag it almost a mile and my dads got enphacema but a very nice hunter that we came across helped me drag it out to the trail were we could drive the car to it
