Great story! I've had similar personal issues with mule deer so I can relate and know how frustrating it can be.

Congrats Ozy. I agree with Al Kidner, don't beat yourself up too bad for the time it took you to finally get your first deer with a bow. Believe me I know the feeling. It took me 5 long years many years ago when I started bowhunting to take my first deer with a bow, almost to the point of frustration and giving up, but like you I kept at it. How sweet it is for you Clint. Thanks for the story and sharing your adventure with us. Hopefully many more will fall to your arrows. Enjoy the sweet taste of the venison.
