We started out in the buddy stand we were hunting out of and got in there at daylight about 6:45AM and sat in the cold. We didn't see any signs of life at all until 9:02 (I looked at my phone and remember for aome odd reason) We didn't see anything not even 1 bird or squirrel. I said dude this is like the most boring deer hunt ever. No sooner than the words left my mouth than I see movement off in the distance. Then all of a sudden about 65yds to my left, I see a doe standing right in the open. I raise up and BOOM! she takes off really fast so my dad and I figured I had either got a gut shot or just missed altogether. So we get down and head over to the area where I shot, looking for blood, hair, or anything else that would show a good hit. Then all of a sudden we see some movement on the far ridge, it was the tiny doe. I sit down and my dad's right behind me and the deer looks a lot bigger than it actually is and I laid the hammer on that deer. I actually made a bad shot a blew out the throat and all that stuff. But it was a deer down so I was cool with it. We start walking down our sid of the ridge into the small ravine and start making my way back up the other side and all of a sudden at the bottom of the hill we found the first deer I shot. It was alot better shot than I thought. Double-lung, took her out real quick. I just couldn't see it beacuse of how thick it was. I was like DOUBLE! lol. We got up to the top of the ridge and picked up my little doe. I figure I killed the mama and it's baby and thats why the little one stuck around after I shot, it couldn't find it's mama. But I kinda feel better that I shot the little one seein as how it's mama was gone, I figured the little one would have probably got picked of by a coyote or something pretty quick. But when I first shot at the big one I didnt see a little one with it or I probably wouldn't have shot. But anyway I got two deer on the ground within 30 minutes of each other. I dont figure I'll ever get to do that again. Well I hope you enjoyed the story.

Congrats, They both look like they will be good eating. That little one would have been fine. By now she has been wheaned and ready to survive on her own. But sence you took her you might as well enjoy the tender roasts that you get. Yum Yum

I've taken one doe so far this year but I need a few more to stock the freezer for the next year.

Cool!

When I was really into hunting, you could only take 1 deer a year. You guys in the south are lucky! If you played your cards right in Colorado though, you could come away with two elk a year (1 reg season, 1 land management). That fills up the freezer pretty well!

I wouldn't know what to do with two elk right now. That alot of meat. My dad and I shot four Carabou one year and it was tough finding places to put it.

An adult deer here in GA dresses out at about 135 to 150lbs. We can shoot 12 a year. (2 bucks/ 10 does) Some people take that many but if I am not going to eat it, I don't shoot it. So 4 deer is my limit.

Michelles dad Bob is a big hunter, just got back from Montana?  Wisconsin?  I got to try Elk for the first time this week.  Not bad.

Similar story to yours, a few yrs back he shot a doe, the arrow passed through the doe and hit the baby on the other side of her too.  The mom dropped on the baby.  When they went to investigate, the baby had the arrow but was not dead, when they lifted the doe, the baby went nuts.  It took a hand knife to finish the job but very similar, 2 deer, 1 shot.

yea dude, in Tennessee the counties are divided into 3 units A, B, and L. In Unit L which is what we hunt in you can take 3 does a day if you wanted to.
