Last minute doe..

[Pyd]

I hunted almost every day of the archery season, most days twice. I seen a lot of deer but never close enough to arrow.
With 15 minutes of legal light left on closing day this young lady stepped out of the woods . I slipped an arrow through her 41 yards from the base of my tree, a little over my comfort zone, but she was very relaxed and the shot was unobstructed. I was seconds from packing it in for the year.

You put it together when it counted - good on ya for that and your tenacity. An inspiration to many here I think.

My son shot a similar doe with 5 minutes left of legal light one day this past fall with his muzzleloader. That was pretty cool. But getting your deer after such a protracted hunt is super cool! Congrats and enjoy the table fare - you deserve it.

Congratulations on your success, and your patience. When you're old and crotchety, you'll probably remember that doe as vividly as anything you ever shoot.

I use an Excalibur Exocet, it has lots of little toys on it, a custom string, string suppression system, a custom quiver mount (only 2 made, I own both), and I also make my own arrows, heavy FOC tipped with standard Slick Tricks.
The over the rail quiver mount that you see is a Groundpounder mount, he made a special (very light) set up for my wifes bow so I ordered 2 while he machined them. It is lighter than the factory quiver mount and also gives great balance over the bow.
This deer was a huge relief for me, I am still grinning about it.
