Very nice EB!!!! Was it the doe you gave a trim the other day? Did you find a spot with hair missing?

No... different property.... but I did see the big doe my friend gave a trim to... I was snuggled between two holly trees and 3 huge does came from under one walked directly under me to the other and left....unless I could shoot between my legs -I couldn't get them.... but one had a streak across her shoulder.... and my buddy misjudged a distance earlier in week and trimmed a doe traveling in a pack of 3....

What part of maryland, Eatbugs? Before moving south, I used to live in Charles county and then St Mary's. There weren't many deer around back then. Seeing one was a real rarity.

I got my first deer ever with a bow yesterday!!!! Been bow hunting since last year. I was about halfway down a small mntn. I saw a doe at the top of the mntn. (about 150 yards) on an old access trail. As soon as she put her head down to eat I stood up. I stood there for about 20 min, and waited for her to come down the hill. She finally made it down, and came to the side of the tree I couldnt get a shot at. She ended up coming under my stand. At this point my heart was pounding and I was almost shaking. I started telling myself my shot procedure so that I wouldnt just draw and release and miss. Well she finally began walking into a shooting lane at about 20yrds. There was one tree that if she went behind it would be my only chance to draw the bow, otherwise she was headed up the mntn again and I would be shooting at her butt. She went behind the tree, I drew back, and when she came out she was quartering awayfrom me. I literally had about 5 seconds before my chance was gone. I picked my kill spot and released. I shot down through the lungs and right out of the heart. Perfect shot!!!! It was awsome. I have never felt anything like it. I am 27 years old and just began hunting last year, and its by far one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. I am sorry if I have drawn away from your kill story. I was just so excited. and congrats to you as well. There is nothing like the reward of bow hunting. Just knowing that your so still and scent free that a deer doesnt know you exsist and will walk within feet of you. WOW!! cant wait to see that big buck!

Nice slickhead you got there EatBugs!

Hopefully next year I can be set up and ready for bow season. I want to try my hand at stick and string.
