Brian: Before my brain cells freeze up (I was up at 4:30 AM) I'll tell you the blind is a pre-PRIMOS Double Bull Matrix Recurve model. Lots of room to spare. I also have a regular Double Bull that is not the recurve model from which I shot a whitetail  last year. Unless you are shooting a long bow, say 64"+ and you can shoot sitting down you should be able to shoot comfortably from the regular DB blind. The recurve model has a bit more headroom. I shoot a 60" bow but think I could easily shoot a much longer one.

As for the little guys....they were not at all "bothered" by the kill. They were not with me when I was hunting as they just can't sit still that long. However, getting them out of the brook on the way out of the woods was tougher than shooting the bird. Their mom lives with them in the city and Laura and I do everything we can to combat "nature deficit disorder" when they spend weekends with us.  I'll add more tomorrow.

The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
