Thanks a lot to everyone and especially Greg who has helped me so much with everything.  I can still remember every little detail, and seeing the deer go down was just unbelievable.  I can't wait to get back in the woods again.

Here's my account of the story:

At one point I had six deer come within 15 yards of me, but they never stopped moving and I remembered Greg telling me if I was patient and chose my shots carefully I would be rewarded.  About an hour later this buck slowly came towards me.  When he was fifteen yards away he turned and started walking straight away from me.  I was crushed.  I thought I might not get another shot at a deer this year, but when the deer turned at 19 yards and stopped perfectly broadside I took the shot while I was sitting.  The arrow hit him a little high, but tight against the shoulder.  I was able to watch the deer run all the way to the spot where he died.  I can't thank everyone enough for their support, especially Greg, who I know wanted to kill a deer with the bow I was using.  It was a great weekend and I can't wait to get back in the woods to keep hunting.
