Congrats for getting your first deer - and at age 12!! You have a life time of deer hunting to enjoy. Pay attention to the postings on this forum and you will greatly increase your knowledge base about CBs and deer hunting in general.

Although I have deer hunted with vertical bow and gun for over 30 years, this was my first year to hunt with a deer crossbow. I am fortunate enough to have access to over 200 acres of timber within walking distance of my house. I took two does and two bucks with CB this year. My family loves venison - I hope 4 deer is enough. I thoroughly enjoyed hunting with my new Excal Vortex with LumiZone scope.
