First Deer with a Bow

Thanks- looks like the rut is winding down in north Nashville. Scrapes are old, and young bucks are just messing around, not in a hurry. I've seen fewer does also.

Other good news - I took a buddy to the same property this morning, and he killed his first deer. A 1 1/2-year-old 8 pointer, big body too.
 
Friend's first deer ever, 200 yards from my first archery deer. He stuck it out in 23 degrees, and at 7:45 he shot this 1 1/2 y.o. Pictures don't do justice to how much this deer's face looked like a yearling, very short nose. But a good body and 8 pts - hopefully there's more of his genetics on the property.

Re: First Deer with a Bow - plus rifle pics

A doe from this afternoon - she and two fawns came storming into the hollow where I was. I think they were chased by dogs that I saw a couple of hours before. They stopped at 75 yards to look back, and when the dogs didn't come, they just sort of relaxed. The doe gave me a shot in probably the only hole I could've shot through in the branches.
