Deer Hunting

Ohio first day of bow season

yesterday was the first day of bow season in ohio. It was a pretty crapy day out and the wind was blowing and it was raining. But I thought what the heck and i went out. About an hour into the hunt two young does walked out about fifty yards away. After watching them for an hour a bigger doe came out and I thought to my self if she would get a little closer I was going to shoot her. Her and the little ones went to the end of the field. So I snuck out of my tree stand and put on a little stock. When I made to where I was right in front of them I got on one knee and got my cross bow up and she saw me. She stared at me while the little ones ate. About an half hour later she finally turned broad side. I turned the dile on my bow to 4 because I estimated that she was probably about 45 yards away and I aimed at her spine so the bolt would hit her where I wanted it to. I took off the saftey and eased the trigger and the bolt took off and when I looked up the bolt hit her right were i wanted it to and after about a half hour of tracking I claimed my trophy. I found out after I had found her my bolt went through the sholder and into the heart.
