I've only killed 2 does so far with the crossbow. Didn't shoot a damn thing during early muzzle loader. Haven't seen any good bucks yet, only 6 & 4 pointers. The rut will kick up in a couple of weeks and everything will change. Gun season comes in on the 30th right about the time the rut is going crazy.
Almost had a coyote on Saturday morning. He came out of the thicket about 75 yards away and came directly towards me. Couldn't get a shot with the crossbow. When he got about 30 yards away, the bastard saw me up in the tree. It was cold and I think he saw my breath. The freaking coyotes have about ruined my deer hunting place. My son killed one last spring from that same spot when he was turkey hunting. The yote went after his turkey decoy. That #4 shot didn't cut him any slack.
