Well today started like any other day a early wake up for work at 5am, coffee and internet archery. I went to work and called my buddy and made plans to go out hunting tonight. He cam and picked my up about 5Pm to go look for a 6x6 Bull he shot yesterday night . I agreed to help him look and we did with no avail 
. So we procedded to goto a few spots we have seen good Elk sign and got into some Cows and a few calf's ... 
but the boogied off into the timber and we set up and called with no results 
. So it wasnt over yet a few more miles of driving around and too another spot 
by this time it is getting near dark and I think I have missed my oppertunity once agan. . But too my amase we rounded the next corner on the Forest Service road into a huge clear cut and there was 3 Does standing about 50 yrds, I jumped up and sprang into action. I barely had enough good light too shoot but I pulled the Martin Saber back and let the Easton A/C/C 3-49 fly with the 100 Gr Americian Broadhead Sonic Pro . I heard a loud crack after the impact :oI thought I missed her at 40 yrds and hit a stump from a old fire burn or a rock ..... But NO 
I would later find out I didnt misss but made a perfect double Lung shot and the Bh total demolished her oposite shoulder and she went a running off....... Man she piled up like a tun of bricks about 50 yrds from point of impact and made a huge dust cloud. I know she isnt the biggest Doe and I am not worried about winning the contest.. Had to skin and hang her in the dark too cool her down quick... so sorry Bt no measurements but I have posted a few pics. 
. I know she isnt the biggiest Doe either but I am not in this sport for the Tropheys I am in it for the meat and the fun. This is my 1st ever bow kill so the arrow will go on the wall as a keepsake.
