Well, the ole 270...

bamafan
has come through for me again on opening day of gun season. Got out to the stand early and shortly afterwards, a few does come out, along with a few yearlings. Not the first buck came out though. Got close to last light, and I finally decided to take one of the bigger does. Man, I can already taste those tenderloins smothered in gravy.[:p]
Which brings me to my question. If you have the oppurtunity, would you shoot two deer the same evening? Say you shoot one, and they others run off a little way and stop. Still close enough to take a nice clean shot. No meat will be wasted at all. So, would you? Have you?

    I never have only because I wouldn't have the need for that much deer meat at one time.

    Well, enough with all the mystery. After I shot the first doe and the others run off a short distance, I said what the hell. I could definitely use the extra meat. So I took another of the larger does. Just took me a little longer to get all of the meat processed out. But it will sure be worth it.

    4 in one sitting has been my most so far. I have standing orders for the meat,..so they get used one way or the other.

    Within half a heart beat. The first does would have been shot when they came out. I am not much of a horn hunter doe meat is much better.

    I do it all the time. A group comes in, you drop one, they run a little ways off, they get curious why their buddy is taking a nap, they come back, you drop another one. The fun never stops![:D]

    The wife is pretty good at this aspect of hunting. She has taken three in the last two years this way. And only minimal damage to the car also.
