How my early doe season went

[dhaverstick]

Missouri had an early firearms doe season this past weekend and I had high hopes of putting some meat in the freezer with one of my smokepoles. Alas, it was not to be. Friday morning was a chilly 38 degrees in the holler and the ridge I was hunting on had lots of acorns. It also had lots of bucks. These Three Amigos entertained me for about 30 minutes while a big fat doe stood off about 100 yards eating acorns. She wouldn't come close while they were there and she finally left. The only other doe I saw was being chased by a buck Saturday morning.

And during buck season, all you will see are does!

I killed two, one Friday and one Sunday. However, I wasn't using my flinter just modern Fiream. I'll wait a bit for the bucks to get into rut before I go that route.

Early ML season here in KY is for one weekend only. One buck or one doe. I got a doe with my .54 GPR because that’s all I saw.

It’s a start at filling my freezer.
