RE: HOW BIG WAS YOUR FIRST DEER
The First deer I ever shot with a bow was a doe, I was sitting in an oak tree on a Big limb. Shot her right in the shoulder bone, arrow bounced back out and layed on the ground! When I inspected the arrow, the Broadhead (a Bodkin) was wrinkled up like a wash board!! Doe not recoverd. The next week I shot an 8pt out of the same Tree. That was 1967, equipment was Plad shirt, Blue Jeans, leather boots, 50# bear recurve, Wood Arrows, and Bodkin broadhead.
