Opening Day Kentucky Doe!!

[KyStickbow]

Yesterday was opening day of the 2015 season for us Kentucky boys. It was hot, muggy, bugs everywhere...about downright miserable...but I've waited 8 months to get back in a tree..so I was going despite the conditions.

In between smacking at the flies and skeeters I did manage to see a few deer. One nice 8-point came in to 10 yards or so and tempted me...but he needed another year or so of growing to do so he got a free pass this time. Had several does and fawns wonder by throughout the evening..keeping it eventful...but one of the bigger ones decided to walk just a little to close.

She came in to about 13-14 yards...quartered herself away from me...just perfect! I picked a spot..came to anchor..and let the Magnus Stinger do its thing. The shot was on the money..and after 8-9 seconds of commotion the woods were  still again.

Couldn't ask for a more perfect opening day..well I guess it could have been a little cooler and not so daggone hot! I used my same setup as last season..40# Bear Montana longbow..1816 shafts..and a 125 grain magnus stinger riding on the front end.

And its not the best picture..but it was late..and I was very warm and tired.

Way to go!  Always nice when the hunting threads start popping up!  It's great to get some venison in the freezer early.  Good luck with the rest of the season!
