Shot another doe last night. Shot it from a hunters view ground blind. I like this thing. Turkeys dont even see you in there. I had 2 of them within 10 yards with the windows half way down & they never knew I was there. I was even drinkn a dunkin donuts coffee & thought theyd see the cup but nope. If I only had a tag. [:@] I got a couple now but they havent been back. Theyre there alot but dont seem to follow trails like deer.

Anyhow back to last nights deer. I open the windows around 5 or 6 inches I guess & I practiced in my yard so I know I can make it thru there. Well I shot rght thru my blind. Didnt even realize it till I was goin for the deer & closin the window, 2 nice 3 blade holes goin thru it. [:'(] Amazingly it didnt seem to have much effect on the shot. She was anglin a bit towards me at 20 yards & maybe 9 feet down. I was trying to hit tight behind the near shoulder but got her 5 or 6 inches back. Arrow went in half way up maybe 6" behind the near shoulder, thru one lung, probly thru the liver but it was messy & getting dark so I cant say, thru the gut, thru the off side leg breaking the bone & kept going. She dropped in sight maybe going 30 yards. I'm suprised she went down so quick. I thought she was closer to broadside but maybe she heard the arrow going thru the blind & moved.
Dont really matter now tho.
Now I need a buck!

Good hunting!
