Thanks for the kind words guys, and yes the meat is VERY tender, and the deer was small, but to him it was the MOST EXCITING kill he's ever had. He comes from a background where hunting mainly consisted of deer drives and lobbing lead at every (yes EVERY) deer that ran by. So this is definitely a step in the right direction as far as I am concerned. If you've never got to be there and watch someone else get their first archery (crossbow) kill, it's pretty exciting to the observer hoping to get that person addicted to the sport too!!!!
Doug, that there is one of the most rewarding things ever. Congrats to him on his first and to you for increasing our numbers by one. I too have a new hunter inthe works. We shall see how it works out this weeekend.
