I love my guns, BUT Nothing put the fire in the hunt like using a bow. This guy chased a doe past me at 0Dark:30 and thought he was a 4 point it was so dark. He came back at 8:10 and at 30 yards it was too thick. I buck grunted, he looked, and said no fights for me today and turned a away. I went "#@$%" and dial the grunt tube from B to D and long Maaaw doe grunt and he turned and came right to me. Quartering to shots the whole way and not a bow shot. Finally got right under the tree next to mine and making love with his preorbital glands on the Russian olive and I spined him. Not the largest buck but it was damn exciting shooting him!!
The picture was after I tried to pull the arrow but it wouldn't come. Using a HBX broadhead and it won't come out s the expandables are like barbs. Shot two with it last year and going to see how many deer I can kill with the same one.
When deer get close you can spook them and then the hunt is one when you start to loose deer from mistakes. It just raises the stakes in the game and makes it more exciting.
