It’s been a long tough season and the first one I’ve committed to 100% recurve. I have a couple hundred hours on stand and only two does from early season. That changed Wednesday. I took the morning off from work to hunt before this big snow storm that was pushing through and it paid off with a 4 yard shot!

Congratulations, looks like the wait was worth it! I am in the same boat, shot a doe the second day of the season, and now still waiting for a buck to show.

Congrats...Awesome...like to hear more about "4 Yards"

Thank you everyone. I’m really pumped about this deer. I’m going to send the incisors out for aging, but wear indicates at least 4.5 years old. As for the 4 yard shot. I wish he was at 15 or 20 yards. 4 yards is a steep downward shot from 23’. I clipped his spine entering his chest. He came in right behind me, straight on and past my tree broadside at 4 yards
