Did that a few years ago.

Had four does running across a hill about 80 yds away. Let out a loud fawn distress bleat and they stopped. Shot the biggest doe. Three take off running, another bleat, they stop, dropped the next biggest.

Had heard a grunt just before they come around the hill AND it was the peak of the rut, so I just decided to stay put for 30 minutes.

15 minutes later, an 8 point buck came moseying in from my rear. Raised the rifle but in my scope,  crosshairs on the deer, I'm looking at my truck through the woods about 100 yds away.

Let him walk another 15 yards to get out of line with my truck,  gave him a high shoulder shot, dropped him.

Now the fun began....up the hill, drag down a doe to a flat spot, degut, drag to the creek, drop her in to cool the hams, ditto no. two and three. Three bods in nature's cooler, went and got the truck, had a rack in the trailer hitch.

Loaded all three, headed for Flower's meat processing.


Backed in, unloaded, then had them pull another doe out of the interior of my truck...a doe I had shot the previous evening and didn't feel like driving to Flower's.

Never have done that before or since, hard on a 72 year old hunting by himself.

Good thing these weren't Illinois or Michigan deer, never would have got them loaded.
