Great story Tony! It sounds like you had one heck of a hunt. I have only managed to kill one off of the ground with a bow and no ground blind. It was a mature doe and I shot her at 10 yds., needless to say it was quite a rush. Stick with it and I am sure you'll get it done.
I went out yesterday afternoon, but a thunderstorm cut my hunt short. It was a great hunt right up until the rain started. I had deer around my stand the whole time I was in the tree. I am heading out this evening with the hope of taking a second doe, so that I can concentrate on buck. I am also taking my youngest son (13) out for his first bow hunt on Sat. I am super excited about that. I'll keep everyonr posted and will hopefully have some more harvest pics shortly

. Good luck to all of you, lets get some bucks on the ground for our team!
