First deer at 14yo. 4pt that was nearly directly under my stand in a black cherry tree...probably 2-3yds from the base of the tree.

I remember how I hadn’t practiced drawing and shooting at such a severe angle. The angle plus nerves, I had a hell of a time drawing the bow back.

32yrs ago and I can still picture that deer coming in and stopping just as I drew back and fired. Hunting has provided me with a ton of wonderful memories.


Fear the crabcat.
