I haven't been hunting really hard with the heat but I shot 2 mature does with my compound on 10/3. Tonight I had a few hours to hit the woods and with a south wind I headed to a spot I haven't hunted in years. The spot is a nice funnel adjacent to some power lines and covered in white oaks and beech along a tiny creek. I found a tree that would give me cover and good shooting lanes. At 5:30 I noticed two does across the woodlot and it looked as if they might circle down towards me. At 6:00 both made their way by my stand, feeding in and out of beech saplings. The bigger doe was going to pass me at 8 yards broadside. As she walked behind a tree, I drew... she stopped... I held for 10 seconds or so and she stepped out slightly quartering toward me. I knew I could skip the arrow onto where it needed to be. The shot looked perfect and I knew she wouldn't go far.

Congrats on the nice doe. I've been hunting traditional since I first started hunting in 1991and I still get excited shooting a doe. Been out a couple of times on long island but with the warm weather have not seen a deer yet.

Thanks everyone. It's been a great season so far with 3 mature does for the freezer. This year my daughter is 3.5 and really wants to be apart of everything, so that's just amazing
The bow I've been shooting is a Stalker Coyote FXT. 55# at 29" shooting a 695 grain arrow. This bow has put a lot of food on the table in the past 3 years. This is one of my favorite pics of guys bow
