I couldn't find the old thread on this, so i'm starting a new one.
Who got to go this year, and did you get anything?
Me, I only saw one deer opening day. A HUGE doe.....and i got her! It was about a 50 yard shot. From the time i got a glimpse of her till i got the shot off was less then 10 seconds. She ran about 150 yards, and i lost sight. I KNEW i made a good shot (she kicked up her back legs on impact, almost always a sign of a good hit) and i was shocked that she ran off like that. I couldn't find any blood, and walked to the area where i last saw her. After about 5 agonizing minutes while repeating "I KNOW i made a good shot!" over and over, i found her. It was a shot right in the vitals, taking out both lungs.
I tagged her ear (and in doing so sliced into my right index finger) and field dressed her.
I had to drag it about 250 yards, and it took me a half hour to do so.
When i got to my car, there was another hunter there, and he offered to help me lift it into my trunk. But we couldn't do it! We had to wait for his son, and it took the 3 of us to get it done.
I hunted all day today (missing the Packer game) and didn't see anything.
