I worked all spring and finally got enough money to buy a new bow. I bought the prime rival in the beginning of summer. I hunted the early hunt but manly focused on elk so I didn't try very hard to get a deer. Late season rolls around and I didn't get a elk so I focused on deer. Me and my dad went out Saturday and didn't see much. We decided to go up to capital forest for a morning hunt today since we are right down the road from it. We came out into a clearcut and my dad stopped to go take a leak and I went to go look into the clearcut. As I almost got to where I can see the whole clearcut a doe was looking at me. My dad said shoot for 45 because it was down hill. I shot and I didn't get a very good hit. I was in front of the shoulder and in the neck area. She took off on a bolt down hill and piled up about 35 yards down the hill. We go down through the rest of the clearcut turn around and come back. I see another deer on the other side of the cut. It was a huge doe with a fawn. We walk over there and pop out on top of where she was but she left and we saw the fawn heading to the trees. There was a deer there but a young one so my dad didn't shoot. Then across the cut was another deer no possible way to get to it. We walked back to the truck got the knives and got to work. In total there was 7 deer in the one clearcut. I ended up hitting the wind pipe and cut a big hole with the rage broadhead. There was a couple piles of corn in the clearcut that somebody was pouring out there.

After having success and seeing so many other peoples success with mechanical broad heads I am not sure why they weren't legal earlier? I shot my deer this year from the same stand and yardage as my buddy borrowing my bow (same poundage / draw length and set up) and his deer made it almost 100 yards after the shot with some Walmart broad heads and a nice shot high on the lungs. Mine was hit at 25 yards as well with the grim reaper broad heads and i double lunged him and he barely went 60 yards, and had no idea what hit him. He passed in sight cold in under 10 minutes. Congrats on the deer man, I just got my first buck this year. I promise you ill be using mechanical broad heads from now on. Absolutely devastating and ethical in a fast clean kill. Congrats again man!
