1984 Shakespeare Wonderbow #45 Bear Cedar Arrows Bear Razorhead with the 2 blade insert
Leftover stuff my Dad had.
Saved money for an entire year and my father matched it and the next season:
I had a Hoyt/Easton Spectra bow some XX75's! Rambo style.

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.

1988 I was 16 sitting in a aluminum lock on in some water oaks. Golden eagle bow with wasp broad heads. Spine shot a 5 point at 10 yards. First of many deer I shot high/over before I learned to shoot low.

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.
