I don't choose the deer, the deer chooses me.

Whats a spell check? Just kidding! I should use it much more often.

I still cannot believe a doe that did the same thing to me this past fall. 10 yards, I can still see that arrow go. PERFECT

OK not so perfect as she traded horizonal plains in the middle of the game. Thats just not fair!

She was on red alert and hunting me even though she did'nt know where I was. Second thoughts (first one was hold lower, as she was hunting me and on red alert) first mistake on my part.

Not trusting what my brain told me!

Truely amazing the relex's they have.

Quiet is so important! It can be the difference of getting a second shot if need be.
Just one more step please!

lefty is right, the guy shot over the top of her.Slow motion will show that the deer did not move intil the arrow was past her back. I think the doe's eyesight did more than her ears in that instance.
Yes, quiet is extremely important. Not as important as being totally still when your being watched though (imho).  :banghead:  Terry

Got to agree with the high shot.  Cool video though, had to watch it abut 6 or 7 time to relive the missed ones of last season.  Thanks for bringing back the great memories!

I guess if we run into the bear that is making these tracks, we oughta just get off the trail.......He seems to like it!

The bow doesn't have to be quiet, unless your arrow speed is under 600 fps.  If slower than the speed of sound it better be quiet.  Don't think even the cable gun shooters have gotten that fast, yet.

I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

I rather have a quiet bow than loud fast one that sounds likes a gun shot going off.
