I thought I would post this up for you all to see, thanks Jon for posting the pics for me. I finally got my first deer during bow season this evening 10/13/13, shot her at 15 yards and stopped her in her tracks no tracking at all. I had deer around me all evening mainly bucks but none would come in close enough to shoot. I had a nice 6 or 8 point at like 50 yards for about a half an hour but no clean shot with the bow. I'm really excited and going back out tomorrow, my nephew will be with me on Friday for opening day of shot gun season and I really hope he gets one. Where he is sitting all have been coming rite to him the past 2 weeks, he is very excited and anxious for Friday to get here.

You got that rite, I will be cutting that out to.orrow and I just mite process the deer myself and take in most all of it for salami and zick sticks. I'm splitting this one with one of my good friends. I have almost 2 months of hunting to to go so I hope to get a few more and my nephew as well.

Nice job Jamie! Can't beat fresh venison. My Dad shot one two weeks ago. I sat Sunday nothing....Monday night I had 4 in by me but no clean shot. Been working ever since.

No it is not my favorite color but it is the best color to see after shot or a miss along with my pink nocturnal nocs in the arrows as well. I had pink wraps and fletchings long before I even thought about building the pink lsr. And I built the lsr to match Tracys gear I bought her. And I like it and will rock it pink, duner only though.

And thanks Jeremy, Its been a long time coming and a lot of practice and it finally paid off for me.

NO sir i did not, that is my drag cord. I took the pic after I started dragging her out to a nice spot to gut her.

I know man, just a little deer camp humor. Good job btw I've never stuck with a bow. We're going hunting tomorrow thru Sunday.

Congrats Jamie!
I've been thinking about getting into bow hunting! Always just shotgun.
