Default Another great day bowhunting in Va

Was out yesterday near Goshen and was able to bag a doe with my bow. That makes 4 for the year. I'm really loving my new Switchback! Anyway, it was close to that should I get down time, when that familiar sound of several large animals coming down the ridge. Before I knew it, I had 7 doe all within 20 yards of my stand. Looking to have a big batch of smoked summer sausage ready for the holidays, I drew back and put the pin right where it counts on the largest one. The arrow found its mark with that confirming THWACK sound and all seven deer went in every direction. I watch my doe go 40 yards, tumble, then jump out of sight. I waited only a few minutes, scurried down my tree and packed up my Summit before looking for my arrow. When I found my arrow, a complete passthrough, I was amazed with all the blood! I've never seen that much blood on a arrow! I went right to where I lost sight of her and found her 10 feet from that spot. When I dressed her, I found penetration through one lung and the heart. Of all the deer I've harvested with my bow, I have never actually hit the heart. Gotta love those Montec broadheads! Hope everyone's still getting out there. This mild weather is perfect for bowhunting. (sorry, no pics of the doe)
