Brett, I know, that morning is freezing cold! It is buck only in firearm season now in quantico, right? That's why I hesitated on the shot, also my arrow is not readyon the bow yet at that moment.The distance could be shorter than 50 yards, but maybe a little out of my comfort zone.

I think everyonehas thememory of seeing the first deer. Maybe many years ago, maybe not long.That great moment should never be forgoten!Just wish to share mine in this forum with all ofyou.
Buck only in firearm season but you can shoot does or bucks on archery only areas...that is why I hunt them during the firearm season. 50 yards is way too far of a shot with a bow. Only shoot em in your comfort zone, wether that is 10, 20, or 30 yards. BEST of luck to you. And yes I remember the first time I saw a deer. I missed a doe at 30 yards with my rifle in the snow....was something to behold!@
