Late Season Doe

[zakjak221]

Went out for our late season on Dec. 27th & took this 110# Doe.
Usually late season's are really tough huntin
Illinois late season allows any unused tag good for doe only.
Shot was 259 yds with HillBill Rem/Mac "Sambo" gun,Neck shot--Dropped like a rock.
This year was really bad for huntin,we had rain,a lot of wind,feezing rain,snow & deer just weren't moving.
Dec. 27th was about 55 degrees with calm winds.
In 8 days of hunting, I only saw 4 deer, I also took a year & a half old buck with a messed up rack.
Good to have meat in the freezer!
First season buck..

Thanks fella's.
Weather sure has turned to crap here lately--14" of snow,wind chills of 30 below--for 2 1/2 days.
Makes you wonder what the critters do when its so brutal cold.

I don't know what the critters do, but after you work out in that weather for several hours, you get sick! At least that's what I did (am)!
