    tonight I finally struck with my bow. It was a little doe, but it’s the first deer I have taken with a bow. I pretty much had the attitude if it’s brown it’s down for bow hunting. I was just so excited to finally get one with a bow that I had to write it down. I finally understand what all the hype is about bow hunting. Man it was cool drawing my bow and her not having a clue. I made a perfect hit through both lungs and she only ran 20 yards before crashing over. There I’m done gloating

    Now you are in for it! Start cancelling those pheasant hunting trips, duck hunting trips, fall fishing. Ok, I may be exagerating some, but it is very addictive!

    Congrats on your harvest and a nice clean kill

    Great job . I can remember my first one with a bow, it was no bigger than a German Shepherd , but I was thrilled to no end. Since then I have taken quite a few does, but no bucks yet. This might be the year for that during the late season. I still find it amazing how a bow shot deer will usually fall quicker than a gun shot deer.

    Hey Scott, i know what your saying. Ive spent full hunting seasons in a tree with no shotgunning at all. Went back to the stand after shotgun season was over and hunted the rest of the season. Sitting in a treestand is like going to the best wildlife movies around. Nothings like seeing a decent buck near your stand even if you can’t get him to come in, it really sharpens the senses.

    Congrats! I love hearing people hooked on bowhunting.

    My dad started bow hunting this year and also got his first… a small doe as well. I’ll never forget how happy he was.

    The best part was I got to see the shot. I’ll spare you the details but as you know it’s rare a bowhunter sees another take one… and I got to enjoy the entire thing with him. Awesome.
