Where were you hunting at? My wife is from the sheridan area.
Hope to be hunting out there next year
Congrats on your deer.
Whitetail or mulie?

Uh....question..
If you "wouldn't normally take that shot", what was abnormal about this specific situation that you DID take that shot?

Do you use a rangefinder? If you would normally shoot to 30 just wondering how you knew it was 35.Maybe that was after the shot?From a stand I doubt if I could have told the difference without one.

Well done! When the instincts take over go with it, that's my standard when deciding to let one go. Sometimes when I draw it isn't there, as I've grown over the years, when that happens I just let the bow down and work on getting my shooting/hunting instincts centered. And when you draw and its there, let her go! 35 yards isn't too far for your equipment

Biggie, "I was feeling really good, a little cocky, so I let'r fly", to quote my original post. No other explanation, it just felt good so I released.
James, no rangefinder. I'll admit I didn't know the distance for sure until after the kill but it was obviously a longer-than-normal shot.
I shoot at 30 yards at a life size deer target in my back yard. When I'm feeling good, I'll smack the kill-zone regularly but when i'm tuckered or sressed-out, the shots stray.
