Haha, very similar. Fosters Loop Road, about 1998, 14 years old. Gifted PSE nova from a neighbor. Aimed body, hit neck. Cow horn spike. Dead right there. Home made wooden ladder stand I finished prior to the hunt

Was shaking very bad.

Hah... mine went down so fast I didn't have time to get the shakes until after the shot. But when they hit, I thought I was gonna fall out of the stand.

I started bowhunting when i was 10 and I couldn't even stand up when I seen a deer i shook so bad 🤣

My first was a 25 pound doe with maybe a couple of spots left on it. Shot it with a bear whitetail II in 1991. Pinned that little thing to the ground. If I had waited 30 more seconds, I could have shot her momma.

McPherson Bantam
Easton 1916
100 Gr. Thunderhead
Doe-1993

At least your honest

1993 in Fayette Alabama. Big bodied doe. Sitting on the ground on the edge of a food plot. Using a Bear Whitetail II shooting a Easton gamegetter 2216 with 5” feather fletching tipped with a 145 grain Bear razorhead. I also shot that bow using a tab. She was 42 steps (I guessed 40). She was staring at me stomping her foot. I shot her straight on in the chest, hitting her just above the brisket. Got lungs then spine. She dropped right there. After that season I started shooting that bow instinctively.

I was 15 and it was opening day of gun season 1982. All the club members at kirksey hunting club couldn’t believe I was going to bow hunt on the opening day of gun season. I was shooting a Martin cougar magnum, xx75 2016’s with 125 satellite head. My treestand was a baker climbing stand that I was using like a lock on. I had put the stand in place a couple weeks prior to hunting and was using climbing spurs to get in and out of the stand because those things were so noisy going up and down a tree. He was 5 steps from the base of my tree and was the only deer killed that day.

My dad was in kirksey hunting club in the early 80s

October 1989. 20 years old. Auburn University, farm off Donahue Drive. Pearson Spoiler Easton 2312 and thunderhead broadhead. 35 yard shot on a doe. Ended up killing 7 more that year with my bow on that farm. Lots of deer in those days. I was bloodthirsty back then.

I was 18 years old I went to a pawn shop in Saraland and bought a McPherson hornet 60lb bow and then to Quints and bought a new 3 pin sight 4 beeman arrows and a pack of rage broad heads. Went home sighted in at 20 30 and 40 yds and went hunting that evening. I was in a short ladder stand on a dim rd a doe stepped out at last light. guessed 30yds put the 30 yd pin on her, I was shaking so bad I could feel the ladder shaking and hear oak leaves rustling on the small tree the ladder was on. let go of the arrow and ill never forget that sound or the spark I saw from the rage blades deploying. double lung she went about 35 yds ive been hooked every since.

Great stuff, guys!
It was first weekend of November 1994, making me all of 25 years old.
A neighbor who didn’t let anyone hunt told me out of the blue I couid Hunt her 35 acres. Turns out a doe had eaten her roses down to the nub.
It was mostly cutover with thick baby pines but there was one little Oak knoll. I drove by it on 4-wheeler. The oaks were full of squirrels. That was enough to decide that’s where I’d hunt.
The next Saturday, I drug my Griz ladder stand in and set up. Within minutes the doe came by about 30 yards out. I hit her a tad far back but she was mighty sick when she left. It was a short tracking job finished with a knife, which was a bit ugly.
I was shooting a 70 lb Power Mag I bought new from the late great Delano Geoghagen, who had a bow shop in Arab. I was shooting either Thunderheads or Muzzys.
I found rubs while tracking the doe and got a pretty good 7 point with my gun on the place the next year. Also got a Fox with my bow on that knoll. My brother did too.

December 31, 2009..first with a bow and still my biggest scoring buck...corps land in sumpter co...me and my brother were together and hed scouted a little and saw a small buck and som does..i had seen a few does where id been and i didnt want to leave my spot but i moved my stand. I climbed a red oak at about 12:30pm and i sit there til dark..it was almost to dark to see my pins when i heard somethin an seen a deer slippin up behind me.. i couldnt make any horns outs so i assumed it was a doe..i was shooting a 100grn marden vortex..i hit the deer squarely in the rib cage at about 25yrds..he went about 75yrds. We found him and realised...that aint no doe...125 5/8 in 10point. He aged at 5.5 years and i was a happy little feller

Great memories hunting with a stick and string.

It was 2007 and I was in a lone tree in a 200 acre field, I just wanted to sit in a open spot to maybe just see a deer. A doe came into the field about 250 yards out and I thought “ cool I can watch her” I never thought she would come close, I watched her walk up to me for 30 mins before I smoked her at 30 yards. There is not doubt that bow hunting still get my nerves going!

Can't recall the date. (When did Mathews come out with the Q2)

Cow horn spike.
Shot distance 25 yards.
Mathews Q2 bow
27 inch Gold tip XT
Steelforce broadhead 100 gr

I was in a climber about 25 feet above a small patch. He came out of the woods just to my left and stopped quartering pretty hard away from me. I put the arrow just behind his last rib on the right side and it lodged in the solid bone of his left shoulder. He ran about 25 yards. I remember there was a dried up branch/ditch he tried to jump over when he made it back into the treeline and he appeared to have just hit the far bank and slid back down into it.

Q2 came out in November of 1999.

Pse lighting 2 a buddies dad let me borrow. Shot a bobcat opening morning Oct 15th 2002. The next morning shot a big doe at 23 yards sitting on the ground by a white oak. Killed my first 3 deer with a bow in that same spot
