Took this old doe this evening with a longbow that my good friend Neal Brown in MS made for me back in 02.I used a beman carbon shaft and a Woodsman broadhead. Shooting straight down at 4 yards dropped her in her tracks. I decided yesterday that I was going to carry that bow until I took something with it. I have made several bows for Neal and he has taken deer with them all so it was my turn to do the same.
I took this doe here in Arkansas hunting on my parents place in a stand under a persimmon tree that was dropping persimmons like crazy. There is no telling the fur that I have caught at this tree but its the first deer I have taken there.
I had deer around me from the time I got there until I took this doe about a half hour before dark.
Neat deal taking game with bows made by friends on places you were raised up hunting.

Congratulations Mike!!!!!
Thanks guy's, when I decided that I wouldnt be going out west this year I was going to have fun at it here at home. Good way to start it off, I plan on hunting my Grandfather's place next. I have taken some nice deer there in years past but the last several years I have been out of state so much that I haven't been able to hunt it much. Time to make more memories at home and have fun like when I was a kid.
Mike
Awsome!!!

Looks like your having a great time buddy, Thats good to see. Congrats on a fine doe and good luck the rest of the season :D

Tracy,
The bear wont show himself in the daylight, he is close to hitting it before dark but not yet.
I am giving it a few days before I go back to check it out.
