‘96 or ‘97 in October near Poplarville, Ms.
Was hunting a little food plot and sitting on an old ladder platform with a bucket. I was using my dads pse infinity. Looked up from a nap and there stood a 5pt and a spike sparring about 10 yards away. I went to draw and my arrow fell off my rest and hit the ground. They run about 20 yards and stood around for a few then went back to sparring. I got another arrow and put one right behind the last rib as the 5 point was quartering away.
Being color blind, it’s hard for me to track. I had a buddy hunting with me that evening and we went back to his house to eat dinner and got a dog to help track. It was a cool evening I’ll never forget because my buddy had called his future brother in law while we were on our way out and talked to him a minute on the phone while I was in the truck. His brother in law happens to be Brett Favre. We came back after eating and found my little deer in the creek about a 100 to 150 yards from where I shot him. First time I ever heard coyotes close by while I was tracking a deer too.

I was sure proud to have that little 5 point. I was around 16 years old.

I think it was around '92 or '93. Shot a big doe with a Pearson bow and landshark broadheads on our family land.

I remember the day well. There I was in the back of the range minding my own business waiting to hear "Clear the range", when all of a sudden I hear a swiiiish and then what sounded like about 35 Plastic Owl decoys bouncing around on the floor. It was only one owl, but man that thing bounced around for like 15 minutes or so. It will go down in history as one of the greatest shots ever in Tournament Archery shooting.

I was back in the shooter’s holding area. I didn’t think that damn thing would ever quit bouncing. laugh

I had a Hoyt/Easton Spectra bow some XX75's! Rambo style.

Bow season of 1998 I was 13 yrs old. Had a dozen plus deer on a green field and a young 5pt eased within range and I connected perfectly after countless misses the prior few seasons. I was shooting a McPherson Mark VIII with 100gr 3 blade Muzzys. I had won that bow in a archery tournament the summer before. I left the bow at our hunting camp in Hardaway in 1999 and it was stolen.

Doe at 20 yards
Browning Bighorn bow, Muzzy 4 blade broadhead
In an AlumiLite climber, on the edge of a field. She was skirting the woods around the field.
Was using a pistol grip type release with no wrist strap and was so shaken up after the shot that I somehow dropped it, but didn’t realize it. I had no idea where my release went til I got down from the tree and it was laying on the ground at the base of the tree.

1993. I was 25 years old sitting over a small corn foodplot. Doe and a spotted fawn came in followed by what i thought was a yearling doe. 25yd shot with a Bear whitetail legend shooting thunderhead 100's. Turned out to be a button head.

From a ladder stand in Elmore county across from Parker's Island in Coosada. Had 2 does walk out at about 20 or so yards in the little food plot and I was so nervous I could barely hold my bow. Was able to stand up and shoot but shot high and hit her spine. She dropped like a wet rag but didn't die. Had to put another one in her. This was probably in 1990 or so. Didn't have a truck or an ATV so the drag back to the road was brutal.

10/15/17 28 yrs old

Started bow hunting in 2016 and got busted every time I saw anything that entire first year. (except once...missed a giant buck twice in less than a minute. First shot went over his back by several inches. He ran about 10 yards and stopped so I grabbed another arrow and let it fly.....second shot hit a branch. Took me awhile to get over that one)

Did a lot of preparation, scouting etc. before the 2017 season and it paid off opening weekend.
Sitting on a hardwood ridge in a hang-on stand about 15 feet up and 3 does came in about 6:00 PM.
I waited for them to come up the ridge from behind me and drew back after the last one passed my stand.
Hit her right behind the shoulder at 10 yards and she maybe ran 50 yds.
Crazy thing is I killed my second with a bow the next morning. Pretty good opening weekend.
