Well it happened, 3rd year of bowhunting and I bagged my first. Bow season opens on Oct 1 here in Michigan, I had the whole week off to hunt. Saw plenty of deer all week but nothing to shoot at.
Sunday AM at 8:30 a doe walks in 25 yard out, I just happened to be standing, which helped, waited till she turned broadside, and wham. Good shot.

I got a little excited and began tracking but 500 yards, across one stream later I was gutting out my first deer with a bow.

Man I was pumped. Still am.

Hunting soothes the soul
