Congrats - Any deer taken from the ground is a great accomplishment. I think that you will find that this deer hunt will be very special to you and relived throughout your lifetime.

Great story...gives me inspiration to keep after them. I've taken deer from the ground before with a longbow but it was years ago. I went back after all the years thinking that my past experience would make it easier..."NOT!!!!" I've had a chemical treadmill one of the last times they checked my heart and this fall I got an almost identical test only it was administered by a doe at about 15 steps. I couldn't believe after all these years that the adrenaline could still be that juiced up by a deer and a doe of all things.
You did such a nice job in telling your story that I felt a little bit of your "rush" all over...again.
Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!
God bless,Mudd

Thanks for the story, that rush is the reason I quit tree hunting a few years back.  Congrats!

I've had the same encounters since getting my Shaggy Suit.  I really want to touch one as they pass by but don't really want the experience of being kicked by a deer.

Excellent!
I've taken the biggest buck of my hunting career from the ground and most of my other animals but this is my first year with a simple stick and string.  I'm looking forward to accomplishing that task.  Thanks for the story.

Awesome congrats! Well written story.

I know the rush of being close to deer on the ground, but not the thrill of actually taking one yet.    :notworthy:
