Well here is my addition.  Just a little one...but I can honestly say I am truly proud of this.  I switched to archery three years ago, it it has taken me three season to harvest a deer with the bow...and this weekend I finally sealed the deal!  Just south of Spokane and she only went about 40 yards!  Funny thing is that as soon as I shot, I jumped two massive bucks...lol.  Oh well.  Next year I will focus on one of them!

Nice first deer with a bow.  :tup:

Had a little mix up at first light.  This forkie and a three-point milling about in the semi-light -  I was sure that I was on the three-point when I fired. That buck hung out for more than five minutes waiting for his buddy to get up off the ground.  A bit of a disappointing finish to the season, but it feels pretty good to be tagged out on 02 Oct.

Yup.  I thought I had my accuracy issues figured out.  Double cleaned, new powder, Powerbelt 295 gr.  -  aimed just behind the shoulder and hit him in the neck.  Not even close to my aim point.  He dropped bud didn't die.  I had to walk down and finish him with a second shot.

Bonus buck while elk hunting.  Don't usually have an archery tag for deer but glad I did this year.
