Last evening I got my first deer with traditional gear. A nice big doe. It truly was the best hunt that I have ever had. She was at 13.5 yards. I center punched the heart and got a complete pass through. I was amazed at what the snuffers did to her. The best part is that I got the whole thing on video, I will post the video once I get my computer working right. Anyways, here is the story quickly. My little brother(the videographer) and I got in the stand late, around 5:30 pm. We were settled in around around 5:35 pm. We are set up on a small buckwheat plot that is surrounded by really thick grapevines. At around 5:45 I heard something off the right, but assumed it was just more chipmunks. The woods is so thick here that you can see into it at all. I caught movement off to my left and caught a doe entering the field. My brother spotted it just intime to get the camera running. She was at 13.5 yards and I hit about two inches lower than I wanted to, but still center punched the heart. I knew I had made a good shot, but gave her about 25 minutes. My dad, mom, sister, and nephew came out to help track. Even with a heart shot, she still went over 200 yards.
Anyways, here is a picture. I will try to post the video if I can download it.
