Filled the Freezer
 
Well folks, I finally made it out for my first hunt of the season this monring. Our season here in IL opened up on Wed. but due to work I just couldn't find time to get out. I was running a tad behind this morning and by the time I had got to my stand and set up, shooting light was upon me.

No sooner than I pulled my bow up, I heard movement behind me. It was two doe. The bigger of the two jumped the fence line I am hunting and gave me a 15 yrd quartering away shot. Luckily, the slick trick found its spot and about 50yrds later I had a nanny on the ground. I was in my stand a total of five minutes this morning. I guess some days it just works out. I'll be eating some tasty backstraps later this evening.

Congrats.

Looks like you are using Rayzr feathers right? Did you find a way to get them back to their normal shape? I shot a doe with them this morning and can't seem to get them back to the way they were.

I usually just wash the blood out of them with warm water and soap then dry them with my wifes hair dryer. When they are completely dry, boil some water on the stove and hold your feathers directly over the steam and rotate the arrow a little. They usually go right back to normal unless they are in really bad shape.
