I just got in from a windy but very productive evening in the treestand.
I set up in a group of red oaks, about 20 yards from where I killed a big doe on our opening morning.
All was quiet until 5:00, I saw deer coming up out of the brushy bottom. There were 4 in all. I was set up with a big cedar tree about 4 yards in front of me. I know it would make great cover if the deer came the direction I expected them to...and they did :bigsmyl:
I let the lead big doe step broadside at 15 yards, then executed a near perfect shot. I was using a lighted nock for the first time. It left no doubt that the shot was perfect.
The big doe ran 50 yards, stopped, then fell over! What a great season it has been for me. I have sat 5 times in a tree so far and killed 3 mature does! Guess it's time to start looking for a buck :goldtooth:
The only pics I have are on my brand new Iphone. I'm not tech savy enough yet to get them on the computer. I could text them to someone if you would be willing to post them for me.
Here's a pic. I just muddled through it! It's probably best that I'm not in the pic anyway :biglaugh:

Good going Allen, your a killin machine man! Was a windy and wet day here in NY saw a flock of turkeys almost got a shot but luck. My cousin saw the same flock and a big buck! Were gonna hit him hard until gun season maybe we can stir something up! I wish I could help you with the pic. Im sure someone will step in though.
Congrats on a very successfull season. You can realy see a great shot with those lighted nocks huh? :thumbsup:
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I shot her with my Gen I DAS, Axis 500 with 50gr insert and 125 gr Thunderhead. It was a complete passthrough. The arrow clipped the back half of the shoulder blade going in, and exited right in the 'pocket" on the off side.
I had just picked up the arrows from Floodman on here in a trade. I set them up today with one of my 6 strand D10 strings. I spent maybe 20 minutes at lunchtime tuning, then knew it was time to hunt with them!
It sure feels nice when you make a good clean kill! :jumper:
Congrats on the doe.
Kevin, thanks again for the pic help. I actually figured it out!
I'll post a pic up top.
Allen

I absolutely love the quiver. It's pricey, but well worth it.

Barry, I was using a 6 strand LRU "Neon Hunter".
These arrows were a tad too stiff using my usual 8 strand string, so I moved to a 6 strand and they were perfect!
Way to go Allen!!! :thumbsup:
Good shooting Allen! :saywhat: Just as I would expect from you, tight behind the shoulder! :D
A.S. what weight is your bow?

I'm drawing 48@27, my arrow weighed 460 gr. That's about 50 grains heavier than what I normally hunt with.
