I will try to get some pictures up tomorrow, but as for details I will be glad ot fill in..  I had been up in the stand over looking a small food plot for about an hour and a half. The sun had just settle behind a ridge of trees, but there was still plenty of light left.  I was just sitting thinking how nice it was to be back in the tree after what seemed to be a long off season .As I was sitting there and enjoying the peaceful, somewaht cool evening, I looked down to my left and there she was about 14 yds away.  She came in totally silent.  I mange to ease up without her detecting. By this time, my heart was about to bust out my chest.  I kept telling myself, to pick a spot.  Next thing I knew was that my arrow was on the way.  It all happened naturally, without any thinking at all..  I watched the arrow heading right behind the sholder, but she dropped and turned, so my arrow got her in the spine.  So I put another arrow in the kill zone to end it asap.  It was offical, I had harvested my first deer  with a trad equipment......  I felt like that I had harvested my first deer ever,  man what an experience.....
