Sorry for the delay!
Took hope out on saturday afternoon. I had a ton of pics in an area, and with the wife complaining about the lack of fresh deer in the freezer i figured it would be a good time to try it.
I thought the evening was a waste as the landowner was exercising his 2nd amendment rights about 100 yards from the stand but the deer didnt seem to care. Two yearlings came down the hill to almost right under me to my surprise. Sure i could have waited on a bigger more mature doe, but honestly i was thinking about how tender the yearling would be, and decided it would be perfect to eat.
The shot was nearly straight down, and after i realeased the deer dropped, i immediatly followed up with another arrow as i thought it was hit in the spine, but upon further inspection the spine was just clipped and all the goodies were taken out on the initial shot.
I was tickled to get some meat on the ground, and especially with Hope. I went home and cubed up the meat, and put it right in the crockpot the next morning complete with several veggies. That crockpot full made it about 10 hours between my wife and I. Needless to say that deer was some fine eating.
Took the deer with a cedar arrow topped with a tusker head. Hope is a great shooting bow that comes complete with mojo apparently! Cant wait to see what the rest of the month holds! Maybe we can add to the mojo, as if Bisch needs any more mojo, lol.
Ohh yea, pics:
