Thanks for that Scott. As a beginner hunter, I find it helpful. I saw maybe twice I thought "maybe now!" - but I don't know even with those if my shot sequence would have been fast enough.
Glad I practice letting down. I guess I'm still where you were, where I hope the deer will stand broadside (or close to it), a little inside 20 yards, and have it's leg forward and head down feeding. For more than a few seconds.
I'm not counting on filling my freezer this season, but I'll be out looking.
