 Hate to show it after seeing all the bucks.  I hit her a bit forward and somehow on an angle, hit her shoulder hard. There was a lot of blood in her but lungs and heart was good. 

She went down where she was standing. Exciting! I seen 14 doe! The last group of doe walked around her checking her out, that was cool. She was big and fat! 

 

No paper here for me to enter in hunt contest

Nice doe for sure.  I have a much harder time killing them than bucks.  To me, they seem considerably smarter.  They are especially hard to get on the two farms that I hunt around home (one on the NW corner of WMU 9F, and the other on the SE corner) because the farmers around here hammer them with their nuisance permits prior to October 1.  Those that survive are extremely difficult to out-wit.

It is nice to see woman into hunting like you are.  I stopped to see a couple on the drive home this evening, and they helped me get a weight on my buck.   No one here believes the PA "chest-girth" method of weigh-estimation, but it turns out that is actually conservative for NY deer.  This 182 pounder should have weighed 172 pounds, with it's 42" chest girth, per the PA chart.  I guess NY deer are just a little heavier.  That makes sense because on average, the farther south you go, the smaller their bodies get. 

That also looks like a very heavy NY doe that you killed.  If you can get a chest girth measurement behind her front legs, I can give you a conservative weight estimate.   That is a lot easier than putting one on a scale (don't ask me how I know - my back is still sore).
