Congradulations Tomkat that is a great first archery deer
That was quite the shot eh!

Well, he wasn't my first "archery" kill. I did kill a doe with a crossbow before. I guess I should say he was my first compound bow kill.

About the shot........Man all I can say is that I was lucky. When I shot, I saw a smalllimb (in the line of fire, about 15' high) start shaking, I heard the arrow "slap" the deer ashe whirled around and ran off in the direction he came from. I was really un-sure where I hit him. It all happened so fast, but I still remember it like it was in slow motion. I thoughtI heard him run into the thicket (about 20-25 yards)and started thrashing/crashing. I took out my bino's and was checking tosee my arrow. When I saw it, It looked clean. I felt like I needed to vomit. So after I climbed down to look for my arrow. Before I found it,I came up on some blood. The blood trail was awesome! Looked like buckets of blood was splashed on everything. It was extremely thick woods. I followed the trail for 20 yards or so and it just ended at one big puddle of blood, but no deer. I was so affraid of losing him. I knealed down and looked all around, andI saw rack5 yards away behind a fallen tree!I was exstatic!

Not sure how it hit his neck. Either the arrow deflected on the twig, or he just moved very quickly (or a combo of both).

When I went back to get the arrow, it was totally clean except for the dirt in my broadhead. That was weird.

I'll take luck over skill any day.

200 inches from the lead...let's keep it coming. Great season so far.

Should be within 100" or so after Hotburn76 posts his buck.

How is everyone else doing? You guys are to quiet! Keep us informed, please!

Thisis my buck. The score was 106 1/4".
