Longbow Doe

I had planned on heading home this morning at 10 am. I looked at my watch and it was 9:59. I had only seen two does from a distance all morning. I put my arrow back in the quiver and loaded all my gear up. As I was turning around to step down I heard a stick break under me. I looked down and saw a doe walk out of the brush behind me and walk right next to my tree. I quickly took off my back quiver and pack and took out an arrow. The wind kept her from hearing me move. She walked to about 8 yards and quartered away as I let the string go. I could tell it was a solid hit. She took off and I heard her crash a few seconds later. The Simmons Swampshark broadhead cut a 3" wide entry wound. I've seen pictures of the damage they can do but this was my first time using them. I couldn't believe how big the hole was. It broke 2 ribs and lodged in the off side shoulder. I found the deer less than 50 yards away. She looked to be 1.5 years old. It should be some excellent meat. I got to test out the new tractor and my skinning stand. Both worked great.
