Finally...
« on: November 22, 2008, 07:32:00 PM »
Finally broke the ice for this year and with the new bow.  I picked up a new Bear's Paw bow prior to the season starting.  What a great shooting bow.  But up until now I have not been able to get everything to come together to let the arrow fly at a deer.  Well that all changed tonight.

Got out in the stand tonight around 2pm, on a cold windy day.  But I was dressed for the long haul.  The first deer that came in was a 1.5y/o doe.  At first I was going let her walk, but she happen to offer that perfect shot that we all dream of.  She stood 12 yards away with a slight quarter away.  I watched her for at least a full minute just studying the spot that I wanted the arrow to connect.  When she turned her head again I came to full draw.  Never taking my eyes off the spot of fur I picked.  I let the arrow fly and saw it connect, a perfect double lung.  She went about 50 yards before expiring almost in front of my dad, who was in the bottom of the field.
