    Well all the scouting from early April to 3 weeks ago certainly paid off for me. I can't imagine a better hunt then yesterday. I saw a total of 13 deer, 2 raccoons, 347 squirrels, 1 yote, and 6 Toms (2 of which I missed). But this slick head was shot at less than 10 yards. The shot was right through the heart. The arrow went in through above the shoulder and out the rib cage. The cavity was filled with blood as I opened her up and the heart had a perfect entry and exit hole. The Rage 2 blade made short mess of this one year old.

    Also, the meat locker was closed last night and the emergency person was babysitting so she couldn't let me in. I have the deer packed with ice and wrapped in a tarp strapped to my hitch carrier and parked in the shade. It says it 37 on my phone, and the high is 69. The lady will be at the locker between 9 and 11:30, so after church I'll head to the locker.
