Default well, I finally joined the club

I graduated from shooting squirrels in my yard and got me a big old doe last night, my first one with a crossbow, I did push the shot a little bit yardage-wise but it all worked out, and after sitting in the rain for almost 4 hours I wasnt going to pass it up

no pictures though...



I cant believe how the deer in my areaseemed to just disappeared...
I've been doing alot of scouting and have seen little to no deer sign anywhere, even in all the areas of, usually, high activity... I've been hearing first and second hand that alot of guys in the area have been saying the same thing




but maybe now that the job I'm on has kind of settled down and all the overtime has dropped down(funny how that always seems to happenaround prime hunting time)I can find a little more time to get out more

Did you get a pass through with the phoenix at a longer range? Just curious since it is the smaller of Excals, some info for guys that may be trying to make a decision. Again, congrats to ya!!
