Rick lives in Copperas Cove ,tx he has a few acres that he hunts, the bow is one i made for him    not a real big deer by texas rule
( i guess ) but i sure would take him in a minute

WOWZA!!
Great deer and very impressive bow Harold!! Pretty cool on the deer not moving after being shot. I haven't experienced that in archery yet.

BOFF, i shot one a few years ago in the spine just above and in fromt of the sholder and he dropped like a rock and all he could move was his head.
  the delta hit the spine and severed the spinal cord. i still have the broadhead and some of (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/hdc123/DSCN0985.jpg) the spine with the head still in it
