First deer with a bow and...

I (david) shot my first deer with a bow this past week. I was on Lake Hartwell in a climber stand. It was a clean shot and she didn't run far. She weighed in at 110 lbs. She came up with two other does and was directly behind me. I climbed the tree at around 5:15 and I shot her at 6:00 pm.


Later that week my wife and i went to the low country on the Combahee River to a friends place and I shot another doe. I hunted 3 days. The first day was with my bow, I saw a spike and 3 does, but the stand was not the best for bow hunting and all of those deer were out of range. So I went back the next morning with my rifle and i must have seen 15 deer. No bucks that were big enough to take, so I shot the biggest doe which was about 115 lbs. A buddy of mine also shot a doe that morning. The number of deer at this place was amazing. No trophy bucks were seen that weekend, but there were many 8 points and under that were just a little smaller than a wall hanger.
