Nice deer, guys, and the old nanny's are tougher to get than the bucks following them, lots of times. The bucks get pretty easy long about the first week of November!
Pat - yeah, I kind of get the whitetail bug honest enough, I guess
Just got in from shooting my heavier Shelton, matter of fact. It shoots really nice - 64@29 inches, 68 inch bow, shooting 2216's from it. I'm going to be packing that bow along to Montana in a month elk hunting. We'll have an all Hill-style camp this year, my buddy and his grown son. I'll be packing the sissy stick, though, those guys are into the heavy Hill stuff. I'm real happy with this bow, the pop cans really gotta watch out at 35 yards!
Sorry for the digression...now back to some more whitetails!
Here is my first longbow deer - killed this one in Iowa on Christmas eve last year with my lighter 55lb Shelton longbow. This gal and her compadre gave me fits during the rut in November when I was chasing bucks, her pal was a bigger yellow colored doe, I really planned to kill her late season, but she had a button buck in tow and this gal was dry, so the dry doe got the nod.
