Been hunting hard without any luck so yesterday morning I got up early and headed to a new spot. As the sun peeked over the hill I heard some noise to my left. When I looked a family of raccoons paraded by. I thought to myself "It's gonna be another long morning in the stand". Around 8:30 a big group of coyotes let loose in the hollow below me. Not long after that I saw movement in the same direction that I had heard the coyotes. After a few minutes I realized I was seeing a DEER! (Haven't been seeing any)                                                                                                                                                              The longer I watched her the more it looked like she was headed straight for me. I got ready for the shot. She would pass by at about 15 yds. When her head went behind a maple tree I drew back and everything fell into place.  
     This is the view from my stand of the tree her head went behind.

Now back to the doe.As she cleared the maple I hit my anchor and picked a spot.The next thing I knew the arrow was away.After watching her go down I called upon my best trackers.  And this is what they found.            Tihs is were she ended up.     I just wanted to share my hunt and family outing. Here is a few more pics after i got her up the hill.     The bow I use was one I built my self 54#@28 and 4blade zwicky deltas.

Great day with the family.      

Congratulations. Nothing like a family outing to make it even more sweet!

Beautiful family and a chance to share what you love. What more could a man ask for? Snazzy bow too!

Memories made. Good job.

Looks like it was a beautiful fall day in Ohio with the family!    

Excellent! Well Done on the Doe, and your bow looks sweet too. You're a lucky man to have such superb trackers on call.    

Nice and good job for getting the kids involed.

Nice doe!  Congratulations on a great hunt, and for taking the family along for the "tracking".   You have a really nice looking bow also!

Very cool, congrats

Brings back memories,my boys are grown and living on their own.

Thanks guys. We really made some memories. The kind you can't buy in a store. Nothing better than sharing the excitement with the kids. Hope to make some more later in the season.

Awesome.

Congrats.  I love that you made it a family affair even though you knew where your deer was and that it was already dead.
