It was Thanksgiving Day back in the early 90’s. My girlfriend and Ihad finished dinner andwere just kicking backwatching TV. I had a lock on tree stand in a tree just down the road. I looked at my girlfriend and said “I think I’m going to go hop in that tree stand for the last couple hours of daylight.

I went there and jumped up a group of does, then after getting settled in I grunted and they came right back into my area. I clipped the lead doe’s left lung at 12 yards with an XI Impact, Easton Gamegetter aluminum arrow with a muzzy broadhead.

I called my buddy and asked him to come help me out since I had never killed a deer before and he basically lent me his knife and told me to learn how to gut a deer you should do it yourself. Man, that gut sac smelled terrible when I accidentally cut into it. He told me to watch out for it, but I got careless.

One of the most exciting days of my life and one of the best Thanksgivings!!
