No but, I did get to check my trail cameras and repaired my natural ground blind due to the snow. Saw a nice 9 point on the camera.

Out all day in NY. Nothing but snow.

Passed on a young 8 pointer tonight, and shot a doe that was way too smart for her own good!

She wasn't even that old of a deer, but super skittish, and looked at me in the tree a ton of times.

My platform is around 25-27 feet up, and I'm in a double tree with a tree behind me for cover and another in front of me...she still looked up there and picked me out.

Well she won't be causing problems anymore! Good freezer filler!

 

Shot...

 

Entrance...

 

Exit...

 

Rage to the cage, she made it a bit farther than I would have expected (around 100 yards), but a quick kill nonetheless.

Definitely a high hit, but a nice big blade put her down in just a few seconds.

[BowhunterNJ]

That's a big doe. I have several that pick me out and they will be deleted by the end of January.

nice bow. dont have to worry about limbs breaking on that one

[BowhunterNJ]

Hah, it's funny you say that. I actually have had a set of limbs crack on me earlier this month. Excalibur customer service is excellent though. They sent me a full replacement frontend unit and another set of limbs as a backup. Hopefully I don't see any additional issues with it as I definitely like the bow!

[robnj]

guess they all crack then. that's  good they went the extra mile. can't say the same for bowtek.

[Axiom]

Wow.. I'm surprised she dropped at all with that hit..

[BowhunterNJ]

She did in fact have lungs.

Is there a limb issue?
