Well Randy I've killed 5 deer every year I've been on this lease. These deer are democratic deer just looking for a free meal. Not one has jumped the string in three years. Guys who have come to this lease freak out because they aim low expecting them to duck then shoot under them. These deer were not on high alert. There were several at the feeder feeding. I've killed as many or more deer with a bow than most. Albeit with compounds but some of them old compounds weren't quiet.
I shot it at home and it didn't seem as loud. But from inside that pop up it was really loud and those deer freaked out. Granted it was a still morning with only a slight breeze on both of them. One I was lucky enough to spine her. The one this weekend was too fast and she is still laughing at me. I aimed low to boot. Fact is it sounded similar to a bunch of small birds flushing. A doe I missed out of a tripod last week never moved until the arrow hit the other side of her. About the same distance as well. Just not for me. I have enough factors against me being new in the game without handicapping myself with that. I will try it on pigs, if we can ever get them back to the feeders, but for deer it will stay in the box.
