The doe was fifty yards when I looked down my scope and lined my crosshairs right on the front shoulder. When I pulled the trigger she ran twenty yards, I made a perfect shot on her. We went to pick her up to load her on the four wheeler. She was heavy, but finally got her on the ATV and drove her to the barn. We got the hanger…

Though she was overjoyed at the sight of these beasts, she couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated that her daughter had dropped them off without so much as a phone call. As she entered the…
