Mom's doe

[dakids]

After missing a big buck opening day she had to wait 14 more days before another shot opportunity.  I was siting in the box blind with her as I was still cold from the morning sit in a swaying tree.  A doe and tiny fawn came out and she passed because she didn't think the fawn would live without its mother.  She was rewarded 20 min later with a doe we had targeted for the last 3 years.  She was a doe that didn't have any fawns that we were ever aware of.  She had over 2 inches of fat on her back and her teeth were worn flat.  She stopped behind a basswood clump 50 yards away. I told mom to shoot between the 2 trees on the left. It was an 8 inch opening right behind the front leg.  She asked me to take the shot which I refused. I told her to squeeze the trigger and miss the trees. She made the shot and the doe went 40 yards and went down.  Double lung with an exit wound that my thumb fit in.  NO BLOOD TRAIL.  To much fat. She entered the doe in the local big buck/doe contest and WON 1st place.
