Thanks everone,Sockrublur,It's a pretty simple story realy.A friend has 3 acres of hardwoods surrounded by lots more woods,I'm lucky enough to hunt it all alone.the plot goes wide open,thicket,open.thicket..there are more deer there this year than ever-before.I.m set-up on the edge of a thicket faceing open woods,I got in my stand at 6:50 just enought lite to make my way.Perfect day wind in my face,sum coming up at my back,so I thought.as it got lite I was winded from behind by a doe,oh well.one hour goes by and a spike shows himself,right below me,very small.let him go on his way.9:10 3point again right below me broadside at 10 feet from my ladder,I go to full draw and he turns to face me,I couldent let down so picked a new spot and the rest is history.Ace standard went in just behind the upper shoulder and out at the hunch on the other side into the back leg.Stillhunter,she is a bamboo backed Ipe,68in ntn black palm riser and tips,48# at 28in.Thanks again guy's Burt

Nice work! Way to accomplish what you set out to do. Nothing is more beautiful than equipment you made yourself, especially when it does the job.

Nothing beats a full filled goal, and self satisfaction of making each part of the goal come together.
