Man thats excellent. I have struggled with the bow for a bunch of years myself. And this year I have batted 70% which is great for me. Shot me a boar, missed two boar, shot a catilina goat, missed one doe, shot a 7pt and a 5pt and another doe.

make sure for better meat gut the deer where its killed the insides start to break down just minuts after the kill i was told... don't know how true this is maybe someone else can help with this.... but nice bow kill... its always a trophy if its with a bow

RE: First deer with a bow !
 

i wouldnt worry too much about it. I have heard of guys on here that wait 4hours before going after a downed deer. So entrails breaking down minutes after death isnt a big problem. I always gut deer where they fall(or as soon as possible) but i dont see a problem with someone taking it home first, as long as its within a reasonable timeframe
