Congrats. Nice job on the doe.

Very nice!  Congrats!  Got any photos to go with the report????

Congrats. on the doe.

ca-Vermonster -

I did not get any photos... sorry..

Actually, it turned out not to be a doe at all... it was a spike with one antler broken off and about a 3" spike on the side I could not see.

I  even glassed with 8x56 binos before the shot to make 100% sure it was a doe (we have a six point minimum on bucks) and just flat got fooled - and embarrassed, because I had to take it to camp to weigh and log it in...

I hated it, but what are you gonna do?

I sent the text from the tree before I walked over there.

I know the feeling. I shot a button buck this year and was infuriated with myself not to mention embarrassed also.

I feel your pain!  If you read my last story (Highs and Lows in Texas), you know that I have also fallen victim to the buck-in-doe-disguise!  The feeling sucks big time!  Good luck in Illinois!

Is that a club rule or a state rule?

I'm guessing it's a private land/club rule because I don't know if I'd post it if it was a state rule.

Sorry that you got fooled that-a-way; it's probably happened to most of us at one time or another.

On the other hand, glad you got some good venison.
