RE: Record on your season being over?
I hunted a neighboring state for 13 yrs. Once I found a spot my second year...I went 11 for 11 from that tree. 11 yrs in a row I killed my archery buck on the first day. Most often at the beginning of legal shooting time. 3 yrs I had to wait till the evening sit to take my buck.
Least amount of time to take a deer with a particular bow.....When I owned my own shop, the UPS man delivered a new line of bows I had ordered. They were YORK S-T-O Mags (now I am dating myself) I loved that thing. I even put the rest and sight on the left side for giggles. Anyway, he delivered them about 2pm. I stuck a sight and rest on one, squared it all up and sighted it in by the shop. I then went on up to the field range so I could sight the longer ydg pins. Wouldn't you know that a doe came off the hill and stood out about 35yds. I had a tag, and had taken 3 BH tipped arrows to check flight of the new (again dating myself) Rocky Mt. Supremes that came in the same order. I split the 30/40 yd pins, touched off the release and that arrow went wild. The deer was facing to my right with her right side to me. The deer turned wrongside out and the arrow hit it in the base of the neck on it's LEFT side. It ran 4 or 5 big jumps and hit the dirt. Now, Let me say that at that time I was a "Speed Freak" and those heads were NOT for speed. That was the one and only time I didn't try my heads before shooting at an animal. Anyway, time lapsed....1hr 35mins from unboxing to dead deer.
