[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1780327, member: 72601"] My first bow kill was when I was 11 and it was a 6 point NH whitetail. It was tail end of the season. I know I was december but that was all i remember. I was hunting in the middle of a snow storm that was snowing quite heavily. I saw the out line of a deer headed my way from down the logging road. When he got closer I saw it was a buck. Being a young archer I was extremely excited. My bow (hoyt ultra sport set at 40#)was equipped with a whisker biscut. It was fairly cold out either teens or 20s and just before he got to my shooting lane I drew back. That carbon arrow made a terrible racket on that cold whisker biscut and he stop dead in his tracks. I held for what seemed forever and he blew out of there and stopped 20 yards away in the bushes. Took him about 5 min but he circled back around because he had no idea what had just happened. This time I waited until he was in my shooting lane so I drew back. Again it made the terrible noise and he stopped in his tracks again. I settled the pin and let the arrow go. I heard the arrow hit and he took off. Left to get lights and came back an hour later and found him piled up 60 yards away. Using a 85 grain thunder head and it never touched the opposite side of the rib cage on a perfect lung shot. After that I was hooked on archery. I ditched that whisker biscut after that incident. If I could only hunt one style it would be archery. Nothing gets my blood pumping more than to kill deer at 15 and under yards. Killed a doe this year at 13 yards. Nothing beats it! [/QUOTE]
