Got my first with a rifle last year, and still tryin with my bow. Thats my ultimate goal to take a deer with my bow. Just the fact that it's much more difficult where i hunt to get deer in to our property, let alone within bow range. My very first time out an 8 pointer walked right underneath me and i didnt even see it till the last minute(sneaky SOB's). Shot right under its belly. Ever since then i've been taking so much care to be prepared, and god bless the next deer that comes waltzing by, cause he's gonna be a mount above the wood-burning stove at the cabin.
