Hi Oday from suburban MD (Rocky Gorge area, Montgomery County). Xbow is great for stuffing the freezer and feeding hungry folk while reducing head count in your backyard garden. How about a blow-by-blow on that first takedown.:D
Happy to do,so.

Was in a tree stand overlooking a grass field where I had taken two doe for the freezer during rifle season. late in the AM after most had left for the mid day, a big bodied 8 pointer came downhill from my left moving slowly down a path to water at the bottom of the hill. As he paused 25 yards away, I hit him so that the pass through was a high heart/lung hit. He ran @ 75 yards and jumped an old rock fence bordering thick woods. I marked the location and found him dead where he landed just over the fence. The butcher estimated 180 ponds on the hoof.

Oday...Thanks for taking us along on that hunt! How many of the lunch crowd came back to help drag him out?😁
None! As you would expect. All had gone into town for lunch or home for a nap.

I field dressed the buck and called my neighbor/friend who owns the farm He came out and we loaded it into the UTV. Biggest challenge was getting the UTV through the brush, around the fence, and down to the deer.
