    GoIng bow hunting for the first time this year just bought a Mathews Heli M and some Sitka gear. I have lots of deer in my small patch of woods and hope to shoot one off the ground without being in a blind. I have the time on my hands to go at least 3 times a week and know the area well, I think I can make it happen!

    Ben.

    Welcome to the site Ben! You've set yourself a pretty awesome goal, taking a whitetail off the ground, blindless. Good luck this Fall :tu:
