It was the friday after christmas and it was cold, dry, and I was going hunting that afternoon, it was still rifle season, so I took out my sporterized .303, but I noticed that I shot up what ammo I had at the range two days before, so with no time to buy more, I took my longbow, and I am glad I did, it was my first time hunting with a bow, and having not seen a deer so far this season, I did not think I would see any deer, by the way, I have yet to kill my first deer, with gun or bow, so it would be so cool if I could take my first deer with a bow!, since my stand was built for gun hunters, I had to set up a natural ground blind on the ground where two game trails come together, I sat there for two hours not hearing anything but squirrels, then I tried rattling horns, suddenly a fork horn steps out at 20 yards and stops, giving me a perfect broad side shot, but I passed it up, thats just too far for me, he jerks his head back behind him, and runs off, something spooked him, then I look over my left shoulder and see a big fat doe feeding toward me, she stops at ten yards, I draw and as soon as I felt my finger touch the corner of my lip, I released, it looked to me like I hit her just behind the shoulder, I was jumping up out of the chair, I was so excited, she ran off, I could hear her crashing and tumbling, I thought I really got her, so me and the guy who owns the land spent three hours that night trying to find her, no blood, so we went back in the morning, and right where the deer was standing, there was a sapling about 3in in diameter with my arrow in it, it had no blood, perfectly clean, the deer's leg covered up the sapling, and with low light, and the adrenaline rush, I never saw it, I am hooked now for life, that was the fastest my heart has ever beat, I am glad to say that I am returning to the same spot tomorrow, with my recurve
