I got a Whitetail II for Christmas one year and I've never been so excited about a Christmas present. It was the Cat's Meow for me at the time. I took a few deer with it but it was so heavy and loud I grew to dislike it after a few years. I got a Golden Eagle Evolution and hunted for 7-8 years with it and took several deer with it also. My cousin still shoots that bow and enjoys it.
