Well we have 42 days left in the early season and so far it has been great. My wife has shot her first two deer and I have a nice doe in the freezer. This is her first year hunting so getting her out there was a success. I wanted to get a few deer in the freezer and now that we have done that, I am locking up the compound for the rest of the year. I plan on taking any buck that I can get a good shot at and a nice doe if given the chance. I have never drawn back on an animal with my recurve, but there is no time like the present to give it a try. I hope this will allow me to put faith in my shooting abiliy and put the compound away forever.
