First XBow deer, only 20 Minutes in the tree stand !!

20 yard shot with TenPoint Venom & Spitfire Mechanicals.



You can see the hit just below the left cam of the bow.

Instant blood, and the deer went 12 yards.



In this next picture, I'm standing right next to where the deer was standing when it was shot,
you can see my arrow (circled, bottom left) in the snow and leaves.
I could see the lighted knock from my stand, that was cool !!

I also circled where the deer fell 12 yards away...
It cut way down on the tracking !!




It was nice to be back in a stand for bow season.
After bowhunting for 31 years, I had to quit bow hunting 4 or 5 years ago for medical reasons (Very bad left elbow).
The first XBow season started yesterday, but it was a bad rain & snow day, so I stayed home for the opener.
Next Saturday I want to take my grandson, so he can experience hunting.
He's to young to shoot, but he's really excited to go and watch.
