Glad you are able to find humor in it Jim. Good luck on your next pass.

He wants you to kill something worthy of a mount with it. I can hear Jeff loud and clear. You got this!
I thought the brother thing as well. Hate to say it But soon as we think it won't happen to us it will. Glad I am not the next dear that's gonna come along.
So I'm back in the woods tonight. Hardly settled in and the 10 point I've been seeing comes slinking through but was hanging in the brush. I had 1 shot but was "uncomfortable" as I was not trusting the equipment...
Around 4:30PM a lone doe came in killing range but was not giving me the 1/4ing away shot. 15 min I wrestled with the shot which I would has easily taken with my bow... Finally I decided to go ahead with it. The buck wasn't coming back and I needed to get over the bummer of the lost doe from the other day.
I shot. Guess I need to try some lighted knocks. I still didn't see where it hit her the bolt was so fast. She made a run but 75 yards out, still in sight, I saw her crash.
In the stream.
So there ya go Jeff. You don't get the 10 point tonight but I did kill a solid doe in your memory with your cross bow.
Awesome! Congrats on the doe and a special memory made in honor of your brother. Very special, indeed

Awesome Jim! Way to go buddy. I can see Jeff grinning in my mind.
Thanks guys!
It sure took a round about way to get here from 25 months ago when I started this thread asking questions about x bows. Jeff even contributed early on. Who would have ever thought it would end like this.

Well done Jim, thanks for sharing. Congrats on what sounds like a memorable hunt.
