      Same for me unless the deer take to long to come in-range then I am shaking like crazy until I go into my routine. It does not matter if it is a doe or buck large or small.

          What is the brace height on the bow? Look like it is about 12 inches.

What part of the state are you in? I took my first doe of the season last Thursday evening in Jefferson Co. with my favorite recurve. Keep up the great work.

            This was his first time tracking. After he found the deer I asked him if that was the only path the deer went. He said yes so I walk him past the deer a few yards and up the hill to show how it doubled back and was heading down hill when it fell and was face the direction we came from. It was a good lesson for both of us.

                I have a lifetime license for Indiana so I can shoot 1 buck and way to many does if I decide to. I live in Kentucky so I purchase a sportsman license that includes my turkey (spring and fall) and either 2 does or a buck and doe. I will also have a antlerless tag that allows 2 does. depending on the zone I hunt is what could limit the number of deer.

                I usually harvest 3-4. First deer gets donated to the food bank.

                  I run and cycle but it never is enough for some of the hills I climb. Do push-ups and benchpress, some curls.

                      Chris,

                      It was over 100 deg f the start of opening weekend then rain. So for me it was not a good time to go.

                        I had a SBD string on my recurve and shot it for a year with no sign of wear. They ship fast sell a lot of strings and have a good following on another site. I will buy another one for my longbow once I wear my current one out.

                          Good luck and make sure you tell the story of the hunt.

                            I agree with Steve, plastic they are fast and easy but feathers can be difficult.

                              OK I finally had some time to play around with this. You can print to a pdf, I hope they change it so you can select print all and not have to click each page. Moving the file to the Nook was easy and the pages look ok. My guess is it will be similar for the Kindle or any other e-reader. It takes some getting use to because I have to enlarge the page to read the print and moving the page around to read each section, not a big deal I am still getting familiar with the Nook.

                              I am planning on trying some other things to see if I can make it an easier process and will post back when I have more info.

                                Would you feel better if you used the fur for something.
                                Most people hunt for enjoyment not that they have to feed there families, I said most some do. I would be money ahead if i just bought beef. lol

                                I have seen both sides of this discussion taken to excess. By not controlling the population of predators the kill all the deer, turkey, quail and rabbits. They will also come up by houses and catch pets. I have also heard people discuss how you have to throw the small fish on the bank so your bait will get down to the “big” fish.

                                I have problems and I have been teaching my son to not kill something unless you are going to eat it. I think I might have to modify this teaching some.

                                As for eating “dog”, my dad was in the Air Force and was in Morocco. He was walking in the open market and went to a both selling meat on a stick. Who doesn’t love meat on a stick, well one of his buddies walk over to dad and asked how the food was dad said it was good. The man then asked if he knew what it was he was eating, dad said no so the guy told him. It was wonderful until dad found out what it was. I still get a laugh out of that story.

                                  Make sure it is not gun season if you do carry a deer on your back.
