I think I already had a thread about my Super Bowl Sunday pig, but here he is again.

This was a doe I took last weekend. Unfortunately I didn?t draw the tag I was after, so decided to add some more meat to the freezer.

So I?ve have a busy couple of weeks. I have vacation to burn most years and I took off two weeks to start December.
I tried getting on a draw hunt in the Texas hill country, but didn?t get on. There?s nearby open public hunting and I had 2 1/2 days to try and get on some deer. It took until Thursday night before I got a shot. Unfortunately, I hit the buck back. With the Texas night time temps I thought I had to try and find him that night. It didn?t work out so I paddled back up river again Friday morning and found the buck on a gravel bar in the river so I was able to tag my first archery deer and first buck.
This week I was able to get on a kind of population control hunt in a state park. They need mouths off so I wasn?t bothered with the idea of shooting an obviously young and small doe. I was surprised to see something hanging down between the legs of this little button buck, but that?s how it goes sometimes.
The following day the staff moved me into one of the camp loops to help cut down the population in that part of the park. I had several groups of deer come in l, but I was trying to wait for the perfect shot opportunity since they would open the park to regular visitors that evening. About 9:30 a pair of does come across the field and the bigger one gives me a shot at about 22 yards. I hit her a smidge higher and two ribs back of what I intended. She ran 60 yards and dropped right next to a parking pad.
So I went from never filling an archery deer tag to filling three in six days. Heading out to some more open public hunting land with my hunting partner tomorrow with tags still left on my license...
