It was raining and hovering just below freezing. I walked up to the stop that I was going to make a ground blind and about 30 yards I saw a doe eating some apples. I had my Exocet 200 in it's padded case with all my garbage as well in the case. There was a 9' white pine between her and I. She looked in my direction to see what was making noise. I froze for about 3 minutes until she started eating again. Same thing when I took our my bow, then same freeze when I cocked the friggen thing. Then I had to play slow motion boy and slide between the trees for about 50' to get a clear shot. She dropped on the raking shot. The arrow entered mid ribs and stopped at the offside shoulder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably because the Gold Tip snapped in friggen half! #$%^$^&&&*#$%&**@%%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
I will abuse my Gold Tips this summer and use something else. Probably back to aluninum.
Pretty good weekend. I was out yesterday and whacked 7 geese and 6 ducks. Life can be better but I ain't going to complain!
