FINALLY!! A Doe!!!

Post by JB2010 »

Well, I thot bow season for me was over but today I got a chance to get off work and slip in the woods. I was in the tree about an hour and a doe and 2 yearlings came out. The doe spotted me and started stomping. She calmed down and I drew on her. She blowed and ran off. The yearlings followed but only ran 30 yards and turned broadside! It was time to get my first deer with my Exomax. I shot and my limb caught the cornerpost on the stand I was in and snatched my bow sideways. I knew I hit the deer but not sure where. I pulled out for a few hours and went back. She ran about 40 yards. The shot went in far back but came out behind opposite front shoulder and was a complete pass through. Those spitfire XP's split 2 ribs in half. I was out of meat but will have some now!!! :D

Congrats on getting you a deer! :)
I have one direction in my stand that I have to watch that the left limb doesn't whack the tree too.
