To answer a couple of questions I shot her at 14 yards from a cedar tree I was perched in about 10 feet off the ground. As to the fletching, I burned those shapes myself based upon an arrow Fred Bear made for me. My arrows are crested in my own design and purchased though "Onestringer Arrow Wraps",a TG sponsor.
I consider my stands nothing more than "elevated blinds" and basically climb into the cover when possible. The Terminator caught her through both lungs, existed the top of the heart, and put down a trail of crimson even I can follow without slowing down or bending over. Of course the fact that I saw her fall within 25-30 yards helped the recovery too:^)
The attention my young doe is getting on here is kind of funny. My good friend Mike Mitten is on another TG thread talking about the two monster bucks he took this week and I'm over here just as proud of the peewee I tagged. For me a lot of the personal satisfaction in taking ANY animal with a bow is affected by the specific circumstances surrounding the hunt. The fact that my daughter bought me the fedora on my head, wearing "Fred's shirt", personal arrows, the nature of the shot, etc. makes the deer even more special. You guys know what I'm talking about.
