Who is still waiting on their first?

After the first deer they seem to come easier. Hang in there, it'll happen.

The journey is half the fun. Be patient and enjoy natures bounty

Been at it 10 years, missed a doe last year, hit a spike deer and coyote my first and second seasons, both poorly, and no recovery, made me sick both times.  Had plenty of other close calls, but still waiting to get one on the ground.  I'll keep at it, though eating tag soup is getting old!  I've had more fun with my bow while out in the woods than with any other weapon!  Keep at it, it'll happen!

Hang in there all it'll happen!!!
For those that are having trouble getting them close, try using doe pee and put it close to your set-up, like 5-10yds.  Back when I shot a compound, I would put that stuff out at 20+yds, but over the last 7 years of traditional hunting, I found that I have to put those attractants really close to me.
