First-light

That didn't take long..................

I found when windy deer are in a hurry to get where they are going. You have to be on alert to get that shot. They are very spooky and don't like to hang in one spot too long.

I pay 65 boned out, cutlets and chop meat. Real great guy and price.

Ben Pearson 44lbs. He has had it since 1970. Killed many deer with it.

This is my neighbor up by my place. He shot the deer at 6 feet! Yes six feet. Was on the ground in some heavy stuff and had one opening. This deer came by and he missed the first shot. Deer was wondering off and he only had the buck growl with him and it worked. Deer walked right back to him. Six feet shot was right through the neck. He is a hell of a shot with that recurve. His face is concealed because I didn't ask him if I could post the picture. Nice 1.5 year old!

Just watch out for the lightning.

Did the same yesterday and they asked for valid drivers license. Didn't bother me one bit. Got my 2 3/4 copper tops on sale for 14.99/box.

Sweet truck!

Nice deer and your first with the bow. Something special to remember!

Good luck wooly!!

Nice deer! See you had a lot of help!!!

Nice Doe! Great shot..........

Good luck finding him. Give it your all today.

Love it-take it all in. Good luck!

My Father in law Gus who we lost this year would tell stories of hunting pheasant with bow and arrow when he was a kid. This was all done in the Bronx just as you go over the Whitestone bridge. He and his buds would make home made bows and arrows. Yes they did get a few! The stories go on and on and mostly take place around Indian lake and Roscoe. Old green and red wool coats and pants were the dress. He had mittens and boots from Korea. Hunting was done out of a army tent with a wood stove..............I'll miss that man but somehow I think he is with me, saw 3 shooter bucks last weekend. That never happens...................

Nice, he will be back. This time you will be prepared!

Good luck Fletch, it will be cold tomorrow!!

Zemm, Sorry to hear about smokie. I'm sure you picked a nice spot by the in-laws to lay her to rest. Most of us have been in your situation, we all know it sucks. Good luck this weekend-your journal is great!

Very sad, always have a knife handy for last resort to cut yourself loose. Gob bless the family.

The extra two weeks for bow have been a blessing. Gives me an extra weekend to hunt, saw a lot of deer. Learning a lot about early season hunting. Next year we will have some youth hunters also. I like it.

Better luck next time. You gave it a good shot. Deerthug and Carbon said to look and listen to the crows. I found a buck I liver shot years ago by doing this. It didn't take more than 6 hours for those birds to start feasting on my deer. Its tough, that liver shot deer left blood for 40 yards and bedded twice. Found him 300 yards from the last blood sign. For once those damn birds were useful.

That picture is burned into my memory, outlaws!!

My clover plot in the swail!

Great video Sam, good luck!

We are all rooting for ya but do as Buck says and call deer search. They are amazing and helped my Nephew find his deer last year. Sort of the same situation. He couldn't believe where this deer lay dead. He must of passed it a few times on his initial search. Good luck.
