Was able to get a large doe this morning. And I actually took the smaller of the two that came in. I had them patterned on the camera around 8:15AM, but they came about 45 minutes early probably due to all the rain we've got from Hurricane Harvey the last few days and was on the ground at 7:25AM.
Took 6 hours to process all the meat and I'm worn out. But it was some of the prettiest and leanest meat that I've ever seen on a whitetail around here.
Got her with the Barnett recruit crossbow and a rage arrowhead at 18 yards. Unsurprisingly, was a complete pass through.
Found the arrow near where I shot her with the point bent and it hit a rib on the way in and deflected the shot and came out through her intestines and stomach on the far side. While it wasn't the heart shot that I thought it would've been, still nicked the heart with one of the broadheads, exploded a lung and half the liver.
She ran about 25 yards and piled up and was quick.
