First recurve deer.

Wow, lots of arrows! My PH in South Africa had something to say about Archery Hunting:
"That's why the Indians lost the war and the Cavalry won". 

First one would have been lethal but I am of the belief to keep shooting if you can. It can only make it bleed more and die sooner.

John,

The adrenaline rush was like when I first started hunting. It was awesome and made an absolutely miserably cold and windy day great! I literally was about to call it a day when it showed up. Now I can't wait to get back out there and I am usually burnt out by now.

Congrats!!!
And I agree. Shot a doe last week with my slug gun at about 50yards to the left of the stand I was in, and after jumping and running a couple yards she started casually walking and feeding like nothing was wrong. She continued walking and feeding directly in front of me and I shot again once she stepped into a lane again at 50yds and dropped shortly after. When I walked up to it I saw the first shot was lethal (lung) and would’ve died anyway, but it was worth it to me to make sure I didn’t just wound it.

Deer are impressive with how long they can keep going sometimes…
