    It passed through and buried in the ground. I was happy considering the length it traveled through her. Gotta love the heavy setup this year. She may be slow, but she packs a punch :tu:

    Thinking about heading to the outlet this evening. Nice and easy 5 mph S winds all day. I'll have to see how the day plays out. I'm guessing that area is my best bet for and early season buck.

    ... plus I wouldn't mind seeing that bobcat :busted:

    Congrats Fitz! That looks just how I shot mine this weekend. The heavy arrow setup really plows through, tho slow I am confident in it! Good work brother!

    Here's one more from my trip up the outlet

    [​IMG]

    As I rounded the final bend to see the dam, something strange caught my eye!

    [​IMG]

    Apparently the neighbor's water trap blew away and ended floating back here?? Another view as I crossed the dam.

    Now the set I'm in is only about 5' off the creek

    [​IMG]

    Any higher an I lose all back cover. Here's the view back up the creek to the dam (30 yds)

    And to my 10 o'clock
