Any deer taken with a good clean kill is a good deer. Don't worry about gettin one with a bow it will happen it only took me 14 plus years to kill one with a bow and it finally happened this year. Shot a good doe sunday morning with 15 mins left of our morning hunt, good blood until it hit the swamp/thicket, then it just looked like it disappeared. My buddy was just a bit too eager to get after it and he didn't wanna give it much time to lay down and die and I think he pushed it deep in there and we could have walked 5 feet from it and never noticed it. I have never lost a deer until yesterday, kinda upsetting in my eyes. But anyways nice deer, now that you have one in the freezer get the bow back out and try with that. Good luck!

Im pumped to bow hunt again. I usually see some nice does once the snow gets on the ground. They start getting hungry and a little mor brave

Nice pictured story there! I did the same thing opening day on a doe, thought I missed her when she started running, shot her again. Hit her perfectly behiund the shoulder on the 1st shot, back leg on the 2nd. So don't feel bad, it happens! ;D Congratulations on your first deer! Maybe next bowseason will offer up some better luck for ya!

Good job.  You're one deer ahead of me for the lifetime tally.  But I'd like to tie you soon  8)

It really is. I got my first deer last year which was a doe. I am holding off now for a buck. This year I thought I would get one when the 4 point walked by but stuck in the thick brush and never got a shot. Its funny I saw 2 does and just watched didn't get excited or anything but as soon as I saw the horns on the 4 point the heart was racing. Hopefully muzzleloading season I see some more horns.

I did my last bit of hunting for the season. I have to wait 7 months now. Went out in the 1-2ft of snow. Shot 4 in an hour and a half. and saw about 20 deer.

Nice way to spend a mid winter day!  Are those black squirrels a color variation of a Grey squirrel?
