Well, I took my first deer with a bow last evening just before dark. I had been watching deer in the field all evening but none came close enough until almost too late. I took a doe at about 18 yards. I think I forgot everything about shooting except point and shoot. When I let go I watched the arrow and was sure I had sent it right through her guts. She ran about 60 yards, stood still for about 20 seconds and just fell over. I had taken her far back, just below the spine. A few inches lower and she is gut shot big time, so I'm thankful and fortunate.

I skipped this morning due to the rain but hopefully I'll be back out tonight. Here in NY we get an archery tag and a muzzleloader tag and we can use either tag in either season. Gotta try and stay a little calmer and shoot a little better.
