I finally took a little time and went off to the woods this morning. Everything felt perfect and I'd later come to know why. I took my backpack and loaded it lightly for a day in the woods. My intentions were to relieve some stress by simply staying in the woods and not coming out for awhile. As fait sometimes does, she swung a wide curve this morning and I ended up with meat on the ground before 8:00am. As you can see I wasn't too worried about camo. It didn't seem to matter.
The shot was at this deer as she quartered me with her head down at 15 yards. I was in thick trees and she never saw me coming. The Arrow Dynamic was away lead by the Black Stump broadhead from Dr Ashby. These heads are the best built heads I've ever seen. The shot was where it was supposed to be but the deer was not. String jumped me and took the hit high through one shoulder blade and exited through the neck taking esaphagus and juggler. Wammo! She bled an enormous amount. As I later snuck along following the blood I looked up to see a deer bedded not 7 yards from me. Thinking it was the same deer I slowly reached for an arrow. As I got the arrow on the string and swung low to shoot she was up and running. Glad I got a good look at her-not the same deer I had already shot. I almost shot deer #2. I can't believe I walked right in on a bedded doe. I found my deer not 30 yards further up the trail.
