First off, I got to say that I'm having a very blessed year.  I decided to hunt hear the house this morning on a small acre lot that has been fruitful over the past couple of years.   I climbed up the stand just before sun up.  Well about 30 minutes later, I had a total of about 6 does feeding under me.  I had decided that I wasn't going to take one and was waiting on one of the three bucks that I had seen in the area to appear.  About an hour after the past on, I came this single doe @ 15yds.  After toying with the idea on whether or not to take her, I decided that since my 58" 56# @ 28" Gene Sanders Mantis II longbow, had not drawn blood, now was the time.  I hit anchor  & watched the arrow disappear a but further back that I had planned.  She ran about 10yds and laid down.

The excitement didn't end there.  I later saw an little 8pt buck come in and a nice wide 10pt come in at about 25 yds, but the 10 would give me a shot that I would have been comfortable taking, so I let him go for another day.  

When I got down to recover my "doe", I learned unfortunately that it was a "button".  However, I'm thankful and blessed for this offering.

Surewood Shaft  70-70#
140gr Grizzly Broadhead

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and he bends with his might that his >>--> may go swift and far.

You're putting together an outstanding season, Crispin. Congrats on "baptising" your bow with its first kill!
