Thanks everyone for the comments. I really never put any real effort into bow hunting before. Thanks for finding the TOO Deer Hunting Contest it got my interest up for bow hunting. Will I hang up my firearms? Well no because I am a pistol hunter at heart. But this short shirt sleeve hunting is rather comfortable. I used to do crops damage permits and I sorta forgot what warm weather deer hunting was like.
My Hickory Creek HD 24 bow and Draw-Loc outfit worked great. Not quite a bow and not quite a crossbow but it keeps me hunting.
I got a look at my deer in the light of day today and it appears I got a liver shot is the reason for no blood trail. I don't understand the broken arrow in 2 pieces laying right at the shot location tho. The vanes had blood on them so and I had complete though shot as I had a exit wound in the off shouder blade. maybe someone with more bow kills can explain it to me.
Now onto the next one.

Can't edit the 1st writeup so will stick the picture here. Notice the ice jugs in the picture. The missing hair spots are from dragging it out.

If you are looking for me then that's not really me. That's my son's neighbor. Damn it's me again.

Congratulations on a great first kill Frank! There is nothing like bowhunting and I'm glad to see you experiencing something new!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks everyone. I thought I would post a picture of my tower I built in my woods. My son calls it "dads executive suite" as I have a executive office chair in it. It's 12 ft high top the floor and 5x6 ft in size. The windows go 360 degrees around with camo netiing over the windows. The entrance is a trapdoor in the floor.
The only mistake I made was the 5x6 ft floor space. The next tower will be 8x8 ft floor. With the 2 grandsons at 6'1" and 220 lbs each it's crowded up there with 2 people but still OK.
