Got this girl tonight with the crossbow from 20yards on public land. Me and my buddy were waking a trail into our spot and there she was. He spotted her and since he had a compound I took the shot through this thick stuff. She ran every bit of 150-200 yards even with a double lung shot. Made for a lovely drag back but I'm grateful! Always nice to get meat in the freezer early in the season. Idk the weight but I'm 6'1 230 and he's 6'3 270 for a size reference.

Congratulations! I'm hoping that I'm seeing things wrong, but is that crossbow loaded and pointing in an unsafe direction?

It is, and I didn't even realize it. Dumb move on my part!

First day out. First deer down. Leave for Canada to hunt birds in less than a week so I'm probably done in the stand til mid Oct.

That is quite the exit wound ( rage digger?) Nice shot.

That's actually the entrance. But yes, rage 2 blades. I love em. As long as u don't hit the shoulder. I've blown through some shoulders and had one not even go in to the ferrule.

Saw 6 shooters and a fox this evening but good lord it was hot in nc. Sun was on me from 430 until 730. None of them were remotely close though. 70 yards and farther. I may go out tomorrow but in a different spot and in the shade.

Saw a big 8 pointer Friday night just couldn't get a shot at him. Him and a large 6 pointer on cam before but for whatever reason neither wanted to come in. Saw more bucks (total of 4) than I did does on Friday. A button buck was at the feeder most of the time, which we hoped would draw some others in but the 8 pointer and a decent bodied 4 pointer just wouldn't do it. I know it wasn't a scent issue because there were deer within 10 feet of me, clueless I was there. Bonus, I did see the largest Barred Owl I've ever seen. Thing was massive!

First night on some new property I got permission to hunt. I set my ground blind out yesterday and found a bedding area right next to a tree dropping acorns. Watched a handful of does with fawns come and go, and saw this guy. I took some pics of him and showed the land owner(he asked me to not take 2 deer he's been letting grow for a few years) he said he didn't think it would be a monster in the future and said take him if I saw him. Got in around 4 this afternoon sand set out a bag of corn. 30 minutes in and the does with fawns are coming and going. About 6 he strolled in and took a dirt nap.

Mashmallow--beautiful, healthy looking deer. Good job. I don't see a wound. Did it run far?

The arrow shattered after hitting a rib. It went about 30 yards.
