Congrats and I agree with your observations as to the effect of hunting with a stick and string...especially on ground.

I am always close to deer and animals...getting a shot is another story but there would be no question of shooting and filling every single doe tag and another half dozen bucks every year whether with hi-power rifle, traditional blackpowder, or even my Ruger SuperBlackHawk pistol.....getting within 30-60 yards has become commonplace....getting them within 18yds not so much.  Though this year had multiple does at 5 yards before the tags were legal....so we keep trying.

very glad you got it all worked out and connected....you must be over joyed with happiness and pride in putting it all together.

Congrats.
Keep em sharp,

Thank you guys I will post pictures when I get back home from work.

I'm still excited about it.

I was really amazed at how fast it died. My shot was a little farther back than I would have hoped. Even with that, it only made it 60 yards on a dead sprint.

I came from nothing and I brought it with me.

Congrats! That is a great memory.

A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be . . . time to commune with your inner soul as you share the outdoors with the birds, animals, and fish that live there.
