My fastest hunt was my very first deer ever. I didn't even make it to the stand. I was about 50 yards from my stand. I was walking along my path and I look over to see a doe staring at me 30 yards away broadside. The first year I ever started archery I just used my fingers, well before season started I began using a release.. Well it just so happens I forgot my release at home so I used my fingers that hunt, missed the first shot on the doe. But got a second shot off and right through the heart it went.

The fastest hunt while being in the stand was maybe 5-10 minutes. Just got up the tree, bag settled in and bow pulled up when I looked to the east and saw a buck walking my way. I dont know if I wasn't mentally prepared yet or what but I made a shoulder shot and couldn't find him. 2 weeks later I get this picture..
