Congrats Sulli. Im on a hardwood ridge, got up at 2 and the blowing started 5 mins later. Walking to my stand found a rub line 30 yards from my stand. Here is my set. and one the fresh rubs.

Alright yall I took yall advice and sitting in a greenfield

My view from ladder stand

Back in the same spot I was in this morning and passed up the 2 small bucks. Hoping a doe or decent buck comes out this evening.

Just got settled in.Beautiful afternoon here.

First time hunting public land, out with a friend from aldeer, I'm in a big swamp

Congrats Sulli.

Is there any sign around them and are they dropping? Deer love persimmons.

Had to let a spike leave the field before I could get in stand and no sooner got up and two crossed behind me. Gonna be a good afternoon

Back in spot I saw the best buck on our property opening morning. Probably be my last sit in alabama before we leave for South Dakota for some more deer hunting.

Got the wind right today going after big daddy. Just hope I didn't make to much noise climbing. Hunting a logging road that leads into a 3 year old cut over. Good luck this afternoon guys and gals.

Quite evening nothing yet

First time on public land and I think I got a nanner down!

Congrats!

Just shot a doe .... she hit the ground after a loud thwack noise...she got up ran into the woods by greenfield she was gurgling and about every 5 minutes I hear her trying to get up. I see my arrow laying where I shot her at is that good or bad . I am still sitting in tree. I am shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds, possibly could be my first deer with bow

I have enjoyed reading all the post last few day. I finally got to go this afternoon Sitting I hardwood bottom and it is raining acorns and I have 5 tree rats 3 turkey's and a woodpecker If I hear a deer he would have grunt load with all this noise. But still great to be out.

First of all congrats. Second what does the blood look like? Where did you hit her?

Congrats hopper! I'm shaking too the one I shot a few mins ago caught me at full draw trying to see what the deer behind me was, I was at full draw so long I have no strength left in my arms haha

Congrats Hopper I'd wait an hour and ease down and check the arrow out. Was she broadside or quartered? Is the arrow stuck in the ground or just laying there? Is the arrow broken? Sounds like you hit her shoulder. If so, that gurgling sound is her drowning in her own blood.

Give her some time. Sounds like a good shot. The arrow will pas thru most of the time.
