This year marks taking a whitetail with a bow and arrow 20 straight years. The last 13 have been with recurve only.

I got to my tree about 45 minutes before first light and enjoyed not being eaten up by mosquitoes despite the muggy temperature. At about 7 am, I had a doe and two yearlings pass through the bean field in front of me moving South to North.
Ten minutes later, I am caught off guard when one of the yearlings slips in underneath my ladder stand and beds down under the canopy. I have time to take a couple photos, position my feet, and even practice draw to make sure I have limb clearance. The deer is facing away and the leaves are blowing, but I am going to have to shoot seated. You can clearly see "the hole" I have to slip through in one of the photos.
Finally, I pick a spot and reach anchor. The shot is a little high and requires a follow up arrow, but the job got done! Not bad for a first sit of the year!

Fox High Sierra 46#28", GT 3555, 100 gr brass and 125 gr 4 blade Stingers

Goal is a P&Y buck from the ground this year! Hopefully, I'll have a follow up story to this one!

Congratulations Manolito. 

The problem with shooting the young ones around here is we eat them up to fast. Just not enough of that awesome meat.
Congrats.

Great job, man!!
