jagermeister,
Excellent write up and vivid story line!
I could visualize the hunt unravel as it was written.
I've hunted with a recurve and enjoyed it. However, I can't shoot consistently enough to feel comfortable hunting with it.
Plus, it's too hard to pass up the "pin point" accuracy that my compound provides.
Congratulations on your doe and a fine recovery!
