    Took the bow out for my first deer hunts over the Xmas / New Years break. Very happy with the results and ended up with two deer. Both shot on public land. Heres a few iphone photos.

    First bow deer. Yearling hind neck shot at 30 yards. Only went about 14 yards so was an easy find.

    Type of country I was stalking. Perfect for bow hunting as a lot of grass and enough cover to get close.

    Second deer by bow. This was also a neck shot, but at 21 yards.

    The area was fairly open country but waited until the deer (there were two together) walked into some scrub. Ended up being a 1.5 hour stalk.

    Here is the result of the Thunderhead boardhead. The young spike literally dropped on the spot.

    Very happy with the Elite Energy 32.
