Default Success - Finally
After 16 unsuccessful Tradbow seasons since my last kill, I finally connected this morning. He’s not a big Buck but for me he is a trophy and I feel so blessed.

He came in about 8:15 directly to my feeder at about 15 yards. He fed for about 10 minutes and I really didn’t consider shooting him and he bolted out and I thought he was gone but “No Worries”. He came back in and started feeding at 12 yards and I thought “I’ve got a big Buck tag too so why not”. I drew back picked a small spot behind the shoulder and released the arrow. Instantly I saw the shot placement looked good but maybe a bit back. I waited about 20 minutes and thought I would get out of my pop up and check for blood. About 10 yards from the impact point the blood flow looked very good so I began to trail him. He only went 65 yards and piled up. He was a much larger bodied deer than I thought and I estimate he is a 2 1/2 year old with no antler growth. That said, I feel he was a great deer to remove from our small herd.

I am both thankful and proud that my arrow was true and for a quick kill.

Awesome... love it when a plan finally works. Congrats to you. I've been in that situation before and it is frustrating hunting east Texas knowing deer are around but having a difficult time bow hunting them.
