She was a smart one till this morning.....always skirted me and kept the wind in her nose.....saw her at least 6 or seven times over the last 2 years ...Why surprised are they more susceptible than the average deer? I heard different stories over the years but I don’t know much about them. Congrats to the OP! I’ve always wanted to get one.
Not sure....my dad would know.....it's in his woods ...Congrats, cool looking deer. Curious as to what that contraption behind you is.
Shot her 5 minutes before sunrise....can tell you she really stood out!!!How many minutes of light do you think she would add? I’d guess at least five. i mean at low light when the pins disappear. Very cool looking deer.
So generally speaking a white colored animal is easier to see in all conditions that are not snow.Why surprised are they more susceptible than the average deer? I heard different stories over the years but I don’t know much about them. Congrats to the OP! I’ve always wanted to get one.
Congrats brother on a once in a lifetime deer. She is cool as heck and will be a lifetime memory!Been hunting this girl for 2 years! Finally came together this morning!!! Still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I was able to harvest her!!

Lol!!! Yeah I hear ya!!Can't believe you would shoot such a beautiful animal!
Kidding, congrats! I wish there was a way to ID does that don't have definitive markings like she does. I think it would be fun to "target" specific does like we can with bucks based on their headgear.
No as I mentioned earlier full hide tanned with the face being set by my taxidermist.Sweet looking doe. Are you going to mount her? I would. I’m mounted one of my does, I took her while my son was filming the hunt, was definitely one of my favorite hunts of all time. Congrats either way.
No....central Ohio.Beautiful animal for sure. Out of curiosity were you hunting in Western NY?
yes. .. it won't have glass eyes but the nose and ears will be done.congrats! what does "the face and ears will all be set by my taxidermist" mean? like a bear skin rug?
