FINALLY!!

[MUSKY18]

Well for the past 4 bow seasons, I have had the chance to draw back on a number of deer but just never hit the release (except for the two bucks I shot at and missed).  Most were small bucks or does so I elected to pass.  Well that finally changed on Saturday night when I hit the release and watched the arrow go.  Was sitting off of a field about 35 yards into the woods on a little oak flat.  Even being off the field, I still can see the field.  So about 6:45, I'm watching 6 does and fawns out on the field feeding when I look over to my left and there are two does and a spike coming down the trail on their way to the field.  Grabbed my bow off the hangar and sized up the lead doe.  Not the biggest, but not small either.  Decide that she would be a good one to take, IF I can get drawn without being caught by the other doe and buck.  Somehow I managed to pull it off and got to full draw.  The doe stepped out from behind some brush into a clear spot.  11 yards quartering away, buried the pin just back from the shoulder and touched it off.  Arrow zipped through her and I could see the Nokturnal in the grass before she even mule kicked.  She took off into the field, hung a hard left and I lost sight of her because of the brush on the field edge.  I WAS PUMPED!!!  Gave it about 10 minutes and got down to look at my arrow.  Covered in blood from top to bottom and I could see spray on both sides of the trail where she took off running.  Dark red blood, so I figured heart or liver?  Waited another 10 minutes and figured it was getting really dark and I wanted to get on the blood trail in case she ran back into the thick pucker brush.......to my surprise as I stepped out onto the field, there she lay about 40 yards down.  The shot was perfect, going right through the heart and coming out just behind the off shoulder.  NAP Killzone did a number on her and I can see why she didn't go far.  Got her dressed and taken care of while having a couple celebratory beers.  Can't wait to get back in the stand and try to get this done all over again!
