To preface my story.....I learned the many variables of bow hunting.

With that being said, 2026 was a first for me in the bow hunting world. After 10 years hunting with a bow I got it done in idaho on a doe at 80 yards. 80 yards is very difficult for me to say but I learned that jumping the bow is REAL!!!!. After 3 days of stalking deer I got it done after a 1 hour stalk. I played the wind, the lack of cover and was able to harvest the best tasting deer to date. I will say I learned to compensate a deers movement when bow hunting from now on. I know this community will have negative feedback, and that's OK. I practiced my ass off for this moment. Thanks to all you guys who've cheered me on throughout the years and have kept me going on the bow hunting journey

Thank you for the positive vibes. I learned a lot. Im sure there's people who think 80 was a long shot and I'll agree. But with the right equipment I was very comfortable. Now.... knowing the capabilities of these deer moving after first sound of a bow ill know where to aim on my next harvest!!!

They definitely tend to not want to get shanked with a sharp stick..and like to duck...been imprinted on them since man began hunting them..in there DNA...keep grinding...bow hunting is cool!
