    Well, here is an update from KY.
    I hunted the first 3 days of Oct., saw 31 does and a small 6 pointer. 
    At least 20 of the does, and the 6 point were within 15 yards.  I
    didn't want to shoot any of the does because season was early.
    
    Went hunting yesterday, saw 5 does from my treestand(from 10-30 yards)
    I got down and decided to still-hunt for a couple of hours.  I went
    about 150 yards and saw a BIG doe about 60 yards down the hill from me.
    I decided if I could sneak close enough, I would go ahead and let one
    fly.  I snuck up to within 20 yards and put one through her chest.  I
    waited for about 1/2 hour and started tracking.  I tracked her for
    about a MILE!  When I finally reached where she was a big 8 point
    jumped up and took off.  I had hit her farther back than I had thought.
    Thank God I didn't lose her trail.
    
    I'll be back after the 8 pointer tomorrow morning.
    
    Good Luck,
    Wess
