It's been almost 2 years, since I've shot a deer with a bow and this evening I broke in the Elite HNTR33. There are some old does in the area and they're pretty quick about "hawk-eyeing" me in the tree. Enough to be annoying. 
So I decided to put out a couple of hen turkey decoys, to take their attention off of looking up into the trees. Well, it worked like a charm. 
A button buck worked his way in closer and closer...really checking out the turkey decoys. Then another fawn doe with her mom, which was a huge doe and a forth single doe that is a year and a half old. I was waiting on the huge doe to move in closer and check out the turkey decoys, but instead she was checking out me. I never moved and just waited her out....which took the better part of 20 minutes. Finally, she gave in to her curiosity and stepped up to see what the turkey decoys were all about. The old girl didn't like that single doe and she laid back her ears, so she stepped to the side. That was the point when I decided to draw and take the shot.
18 yards and a complete pass thru on both lungs. She ran about 30 yards and stood there for a moment. Then she bolted to the northwest for a short distance and I heard her crash. I rappelled down and started following the blood trail, which only went about 35ish yards and quit. At that point I just started walking in the direction that I heard her crash, found blood again and walked upon her laying next to a log. Total distance from the shot was about 60ish yards to where she fell.
Slick Trick 100 gr. 1 1/8" cutting diameter. Broke in my new XOP Ion hang-on tree stand too. Only been in it 4x, since I purchased it.
The processor said she was 4 1/2 years old and guesstimated her at 220 lbs. standing weight.

She continued to sniff the one in the photo and stood there for a while, before walking off.
