Posted in first deer in Washington thread about buying bow at yard sale and teaching self to hunt. Well that was luckiest shot I've made. Had read every published article about shot placement, kill zone, ethical shot, ect. Well all that went out window. Saw first deer (BT doe) looking at me over a brush pile at about 30 yrds. All o could see was head and neck. Flung first 3 arrows into the brush pile in about 5 seconds. As she turned to walk away (sure she was laughing) last arrow cleared brush and caught her right under neck. Severed carotid and stuck in chin. Went about 3 leaps and down. Looked like someone had poured 5 gal. bucket of blood on ground. Didn't stop me from nearly severing head to bleed as all the articles I read said was procedure. Wasn't clean, pretty, or good form, but was first deer I ever harvested. Took 3 years to get next one, but by then had proper equipment and had learned much about sport.
