I decided to spend the day in a treestand on my family's property in Northern Delaware since things at work slowed up for me this week. I also been wanting to try some new scent that I been curious about. After checking the wind, I made my way to my stand early this morning about an hour before day light. When dawn finally arrived I noticed movement immediately noticed off to my right with 2 bucks emerging from the thicket about 40 yards away. They fed their way down towards the creek, getting no closer then 30 yards. They was about a year and a half year old bucks. About an hour later 2 does, along with 4 fawns made their way from the creek to directly under my stand to where they camped out for about 30 minutes. Then around 8:45AM I had movement off my left again with a lone old doe heading right for me. I kept looking behind her for fawns and by the time she was with in range I seen that she had no fawns and was alone. Just what I was looking for. At little over 20 yards, I drew my bow, released my arrow,,,











My arrow disappeared just behind the does shoulder to where she bolted about 50 yards and piled up.

Thanks everyone. I owe a special thanks to my wife, family and friends on here, (Tim & Craig), who helped me through a very frustrating time last year when I shattered my ankle on September 29th 2013. Tim, who helped me get me back on track with my bow and Craig's pep talks. And my brothers who used a deer cart to get me back out into the woods with a shattered ankle. It was a humbling experience to say the least and reminded me to keep it simple and have fun.

Congrats!
