01/04/14- AM. Hunted in some big woods, cold as hell (7 degrees), only stayed for about hour and half, never saw anything. I did hear a gobbler and hens about 100 yards away. The hens were yelping and carrying on and the gobbler actually gobbled five times, one was a double gobble. Pretty cool.

PM- Did some four man driving with my brother, cousin, and friend and saw several deer, cousin shot a little doe.

PM- Hunted in some pines overlooking a grassy/weedy overgrown field in a hollow. Warmer evening and very quiet with a S/SW wind. Four does came out of the pines on the other side of the hollow at 5:00. They fed there way toward me and I shot the biggest doe at 40 yards at 5:15. They all ran off with their tails up so I thought it was a clean miss until I starting walking the path she ran off on and found some specs of blood in the snow. I blood trailed her for 150 yards before finding her. She ran up a creek bottom and crossed the creek back and forth three times, no way I would have found her without the snow. Hit her farther back than I wanted. It was a long, cold drag out in the moonlight but some help arrived so not bad. My season is over.

Congrats on the doe.. Yes the snow makes tracking very easy I always try to hunt a little more when there's snow on the ground.
