I grunted to try and get her to stop but she wouldn't so I put the pin on her front shoulder and punched the trigger. The arrow hit a little far back and wasn't surprised to see guts on my arrow. Figuring the best thing to do was to back out and give her time, I went to work and came back late afternoon. She was still alive when I found her and it was a little tricky getting an arrow in her vitals but I got the job done. She's hanging in my buddy's garage. I have to remember to snap a pic with my bow for the contest board.

Good luck out there fellas!
