I just about sealed the deal tonight it true Redneck fashion! lmao
As I was about to pull in to my driveway tonight, I noticed two deer feeding under the cherry trees in our back yard. Rather than pull in and spook them, I drove on up to the neighbors access road that runs along our property line and parked the truck. I slipped in the house through the front door, grabbed my bow and rangefinder, then went up stairs to get a range from the back bedroom window. After ranging the deer and seeing one was a good doe, I went outside and snuck around to the back corner of the house. Both deer were still there feeding in the yard just on the edge of the thicket they bed in. (My house is surrounded on 3 sides by thicket. We own just less than 3 acres, but the woods that we own is part of a 1,000 acre block of woods. So while these deer are in my back yard, it ain't exactly easy pickens.)
I was about to come to full draw when a doe busted out of the pine thicket on the other side of our place and spooked the two I was watching. Just as they ran off and I thought all was lost, I realized the monster doe I have been seeing was staring at me from 40 yards just inside the brush line. She was briefly distracted by the neighbor's roosters, so I came to full draw and slowly began creeping to the side so I could get the angle I needed. I was just about the touch one off when she snorted and ran off!!!
I'm telling you guys, this is the biggest doe I have ever seen! I have no doubts she is 200+ on the hoof. You could put a 140" rack on her head and it wouldn't look out of place. She has the body of an obviously mature buck!!!
