Easy doe

[5spd]

One of the ranches I call coyotes on would like all whitetail deer removed, but I only had 1 tag for a doe so I did that today.
Easy "hunt", drive to ranch early, park next to a cow hut, wait till its light enough to see through the fog, see them in the field where they chomp on her crop grasses. Pick out a big doe & drop it at 80 yards after walking 60 yards to the fenceline, rest rifle on a post and send a 90g nosler HBT bullet out of my 6x6.8 for a neck shot, go gut it, clean it up at a pals place, drive home and hang it.
This took all of maybe 15 minutes from getting there to shooting to leaving.
The deer on her ranch very rarely run off at sight of humans. They stand on the dirt roads within 5 feet to 500 yards yards of the main ranch houses/barns. They mow her alfalfa fields as bad as the antelope. They act like you are in their way.
I think next year I will put in for 5 deer and stack them up in my truck for my freezers.

Another education. Thought those deer I saw near you were all Mule deer. Shows how little I know.

Looks like a smaller girl but she will eat good.

Whitetails are all over this area & WY. Most ranchers do not like them & want them gone as they are pushing the mulies out of their original areas.
Whitetails will usually win any buck fight due to their antlers being able to fit between any mulies antlers.
She was not the biggest doe out there, but I took what was right in front of me for meat.
