I was able to sit a stand yesterday morning and was into the deer before sun-up.
By 8AM I had seen over a dozen doe/fawn. 20+ for the morning hunt.

Since I have started to build the Shrew bows for Mr. Ron LaClair, I decided that I would hunt with one this year. So I had a 49#@29" 56" classic in my hand. I draw 30"
Arrow was a full length AD Traditional. Broad head was a 185 Grizzly. Penetration was just at 30". The shot was a liver hit, so I left her until this morning.
Sorry, but I do not have any pics as she was in a tangled up mess of a swamp and once I went to her I brought her out in pieces. camera was on the shore.
The Shrew worked to perfection and put the arrow right where I wanted it to go. She turned just a tad at the shot I think and didn't give the angle I was looking for, but she is in the cooler and that is a good thing.
The shot was just about 27 paces from the tree, and the shaving sharp Grizz buried to mid-fletch fletch. The arrow broke or I think I could shoot it again as is. I will re-mount it and touch it with my file and continue on with it this fall. I like these heads a lot. Nice job Mr.Dunn.
Below is a shot of the deer in the swamp, see the white? Not far away just very thick and thorny. Also is the broken arrow

So,
My first deer for 2013
My first Shrew kill
My first Grizzly kill

Way to go, Chuck!!  You've shot as many deer as I've seen.

Excellent job, Chuck. Meat in the freezer always feels so good, doesn't it.
