Sorry no pics but did take a doe this morning a little after seven.Two months of practice, gone through three strings, over a thousand shots but worth every minute. This was my very first hunt with a crossbow an although it was a doe is a throphy to me. Love those 125 gr. Ragebroad heads. Leroy

Congratulations Leroy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way I see it, it takes as good a shot to kill a doe as a buck. Any deer with archery is a trophy!

Dont forgot us NC folks, axiom got broke in this morning at 7:15, 45 minutes into the season. Have much more story to tell about the whole thing later but thought i would get this up



bout a 150 lb Doe, my shot was s little back in the woods with a bunch of leaf litter so thank heavens for a dog that can track (thas the story i have to tell later in another post, this dog amazed me)

BTW not only first deer with crossbow, but first deer with anything besides modern rifle!!

Sorry about missing that it was the opener there in NC, too.

Looks like you started the season right!
Looking forward to reading a few success stories in the days to come.

No deer taken today but plenty seen I did have opportunity but while I was pondering Wabi's recent poll was running through my mind I have no problems with shooting a this years deer, I just didn't feel like doing so on opening day. Momma stayed too far in the distance for a shot. Then after momma and the twins moved on I had 5, yes 5 spikes come in on me. A couple of which were still in velvet. 40 yards was about as close as they would get and through the trees I didn't want to attempt a shot. It was fun watching them spar a little and chase each other through the trees So it was a very promising opening day
