Thanks everyone!!

I want to say thanks to everyone for all the great info they share on this site, and to those who replied to my new bowhunter post the other day. You encouraged me to be patient and persistant. I happy to report I tagged my first ever deer yesterday. Yes I know at 35 I got a late start(its my second season), and even though its just a doe I consider it a trophy using my bow.

Forgot about that I'm still  new to this. I can't seem to get the pics to post from my phone, will try tomorrow at work from my computer. The story however goes a lottle like this. I was sitting in my blind on a piece of private land I just got access to 2 days prior. Around 3:15 a group of turkeys(all toms)came to within 20 yrds of my blind, of course with a tag in my pocket for them I started off taking one of them(forgot that part earlier). About 45 mins. later the does started to come in. I had one walk to about 33 yards, I took a shot and wiffed. About 10 mins. after that another doe walked to about the same spot the turkey was I let a pointy stick fly and whack. She ran about 100 yards and just stood there. Thats when my idiot hunting partner who I had just sent a text to telling him I hit her decided to get out of his blind and take a look hoping to see her go down. Instead he spooked her and we both watched her run off into the tree line. At this point he's lucky I didn't shoot him I was so mad. We started to follow the blood trail when my gut told to back out and come back in the morning. The next morning after about an hour and a half my buddies and I finally found her, she was about 1/2 mile away. I'm glad we backed out and didn't push to the next county, unfortunately wasn't the best shot. I don't know if she jumped the string or maybe I was a bit nervous ;)

SWEET MAN! Congrats on that, it's an awesome feeling..
