Many Does Since 1986

This is one of many does that I have harvested since 1986. This doe weighed 120 lbs and was harvested from the North Cornfield stand at the Christmas Place Hunting Club on the edge of MS Delta. I was hunting with Mark, who was Rex's best friend. The biggest doe harvested was at Homewood Hunting Club in Claiborne County, MS, weighing 146 lbs.
