Cold weather hunting is always better when it ends well. It was cold! This doe came in with another doe at about 5:00PM and I got a 10 yard shot. I made a perfect shot through some brush but thought I had hit low and waited to track it. This was a mistake as coyotes found her before I did. We started tracking just a few minutes after dark so they must have found her right away.
The area we hunt has coyotes everywhere! Anyway, she ran about 150 yards and I was glad for the snow because there was very little blood. The coyotes got the right shoulder and right thigh but we still got some 2/3 of the meat. I am glad I didn't wait much longer or she would have been gone!
Having a good friend and my little sister along for the tracking job made for a wonderful moment.

Way to go! I had a similar incident with coyotes a couple seasons ago. They got to mine in under an hour and a half!
Congrats,

That's happened to me to before too. Man I hate those dogs. Glad to see it was not a total loss. Congrats on a nice doe!!
Nice deer Michael! All of the deer I have been seeing and the one I took are somewhat small compaired to the last couple of years. We are hunting around Shattuck and Gage.
I took one with my pistol during that first snow before Thanksgiving. I have my bow tuned up and I'm ready to try for another.
Great photo. Wish I could get my sister to come with me but she has both knees that are bad due to Softball.
Oh well, I still take her a deer each year.
Stay after them. By the way, what part of the state did you take your doe? Some of us made a try at Kaw Lake in October and some of the guys saw good deer but only one got a shot and took a doe.
