Default ILLINOIS SUCCESS......

ON OCTOBER FIRST I VENTURED 3.5 MILES FROM MY VEHICLE BY BIKE ONTO A 7000 ACRE PUBLIC HUNTING SITE. I CLIMBED INTO MY TREE WELL BEFORE SUNUP. I WAS SO EXCITED TO BE BACK IN THE TREE. TEN MINUTES AFTER SEVEN I SAW THE FLICKER OF AN EAR. AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR OF THEM ALL DOES. I GRABBED MY RANGE FINDER THEY WERE 38 YDS. AWAY. I REACHED FOR MY BOW AS THEY CLOSED THE DISTANCE. AT 22YDS. I CAME TO FULL DRAW ON THE BIGGEST DOE OF THE BUNCH. I PUT IT RIGHT THRU THE BREAD BASKET WITH THE NEW RAGE BROADHEAD WOW WHAT A HOLE THAT THING PUNCHES. SHE WENT 20 YDS. AND HER FEET FELL OUT FROM UNDER HER. THAT THING CUTS A HOLE LIKE YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE. AWESOME AWESOME BROADHEAD CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT IT..........KNOW THE FREEZER IS FULL AND I CAN WAIT FOR THE BIG BOY.................

Congrats but there's no way I'm dragging a doe 3.5 miles. A nice buck is a different story! You sure earned that one.
