I was sitting in a ladder stand and felt my phone buzz at 8:10 :yesterday morning. My wife called and said she had just shot a doe-her first deer ever with a bow.
I told her to make sure she was sure where it was when she shot and exactly where she last saw it and to wait in her stand 'til I walked over to her. I was happy when she said it only made it about 40yards and she saw it fall.
It was a mature doe and her first kill in her first year of archery hunting. Her bow draws a little less than 45 lbs but it pushed the 100 grain muzzy tipped arrow through high on a rib on one side and the shoulder blade one the other.
She started hunting with a rifle last year and killed a buck and doe. She says she missed sitting with one of our sons before they were old enough to hunt on their own. She loved rifle season last year and now says she like archery hunting even more. I thought she would.
I love seeing her enjoying my favorite season of the year and I haven't enjoyed hunting as much since my sons were starting out.
