Nothing spectacular about any of them, but to me they were exciting reflections of all my hard work. I learned so much from those early hunts. And not one of them came easy. It's been 35 years since I shot that first deer, 34 years since that second deer, first elk and first bear. I worked and practiced and studied and scouted and sharpened broadheads daily...it was the foundation of what has become a life's work. I am who I am today in large part because of those first few deer. Don't ever think they are "Not much". They are the beginning of something great! That becomes more special with every season that passes. Especially when you get old enough to start to seeing glimpses of the end.Today there is way too much emphasis on size and score. So much so that I think many are missing out on what it is to be a bowhunter. Especially in those early years. I remember the smell of my arrows being fletched - I don't smell that anymore. I remember the sting of the string against my wrist - I don't feel that anymore. I remember the sound of my heart beat in my mouth - I haven't heard that in years. I remember laying awake as the clock ticked so slow during that endless night before opening day - These days I don't even have a clock and often get up late opening day. I remember feeling the dirt, the taste of licking the water off my arrows, sniffing a blood trail, hair standing up on the back of my neck, experiencing slow motion during a kill shot, excitement, anticipation, agony of a miss and the uncontrollable shakes after a well placed arrow from five feet. That's what bowhunting is all about.Make's me sad I no longer see, smell and feel things the way I did in the beginning. It had absolutely nothing to do with antler size or score. It was the adventure experienced through the eyes of a newborn bowhunter. I wouldn't trade those things for all the fame of a dozen state records.Today shooting a doe or young buck during early season doesn't mean much to me. But, once upon a time, that meant everything. That sort of makes me jealous of you Smossy. I'm happy for you and that delicious looking deer. Congratulations on a job well done! And thank you for trusting Savora broadheads to get your tag filled
Mine this year. Not much but its something.

I've been shooting 125 grain titanium heads with solid blades.

Think of it as a car driving across a bridge during a wind storm. Is that car more aerodynamic with the windows rolled up or down?
Thanks for posting guys. Keep them coming.
