Default First bow kill!

Well last saturday, Oct. 6 was opening day in Virginia. A friend and myself headed out on his property, he was filming my hunt. That morning we had 3 does walk directly under our stand that was overlooking a 1/4 acre clover food plot. Well I was given the oppurtunity to shoot a couple times, but one time I was drawing and got busted by one of the does, then the next time i went to draw, my arrow fell off my bow! none of the deer spooked, they just walked out of range then. Needless to say I was a bit down on myself. Well that afternoon found us back in the same stand, early in the heat. Just after 6 the same 3 does entered the food plot on the other side. The largest doe took 45 minutes to get into range, I was afraid they would never get close enough. Well she walked DIRECTLY to my 20 yard mark on the ground, the camera was rolling, I drew, and its seems like a blur now, but I recall releasing and seeing my arrow hit its mark. The doe donkey kicked and took off into the woods, falling down just a few seconds later. She only went 40 yards! My friend then grabbed his bow, I took the camera, and 15 minutes later he laid the smack down on another doe. I got my doe out to my truck and went to help my bud get his and pull it out, well on the way back into the woods either a wild hog or younger bear nearly ran me over, just 10 feet away. When I got back to my deer, the back half was eaten! I was extremely upset. This was a gorgeous doe, and half the meat had been wasted. I still got the shoulders and backstraps, but the hams would have made some great ground beef and jerky. That was my first bow kill, I am in my third season of bowhunting and am officially addicted!

Lets see if I can get some pictures on here...can anyone help me, I have tried resizing it with no luck...
