Got to bowhunt for the first time ever over Thanksgiving back in Indiana. Day one, right at daybreak, a group of about 6 does were 100 yards away. Before they could get any closer, my friend took one down with his shotgun from his stand. She was a good size, about 125# field dressed. The rest of that day and the next, I didn't see many deer, but being in a stand for the first time was great, and tracking his deer, dragging it back, and cleaning it was a valuable experience. Can't wait for the Dec. season here in AZ. Hopefully luck is on my side one of the next times!
