Guys, this has been a long time coming ... I've been bowhunting off and on for many years, but with no success. Last summer I decided I didn't care if I killed a monster with my gun, the season wasn't going to a success unless I took a deer with my bow. I bought a new bow and practiced religiously and on Oct. 1 shot a buck but never recovered him. I was sick but I practiced even more.I got on the computer at work and through my internet searches on shot placement and recovery came across this forum. I immediately joined and it has helped immensely.

I never had another shot opportunity until Friday evening when I shot and recovered a young doe. I was more excited about that small deer than I've been about any buck I've ever shot with a gun, I mean absolutely estatic when my buddies flashlightsshined on her laying in front of us, 75 yds from where I'd shot her.All the effort was definately worth it and I can't describe how satisfying it feels to getthat monkey off my back and I just had to share it with you guys.
