Congratulations, that is a nice one. Glad the buzzards didn't eat him down.

I do have a question though, is the meat still good after 24 hours?
I dont think he'd been dead very long. I kept it, I'll see what it smells like away from the animal because he reeked of stomach and tarsals

Went out yesterday afternoon with my 8 year old son looking for his first deer using the crossbow. He’s been practicing in the backyard for a while now so I was comfortable letting him shoot.

Set down in the stand and about 5:45 a young 4 Pt walked out. I was about to ask him if he wanted to shoot it or wait on something else, and he immediately asked if he could shoot. Deer was 50 yards away when I spotted him, eating which was probably a good thing bc my son was so nervous. Slowly started making his way towards the feeder as I was trying to help my son move the crossbow on the rail of the stand.

Ranged him at 30 yards and once he was broadside my son let it fly. Hit him right in the heart as he only ran 30-40 yards and crashed.

Got him cleaned up and loaded in the truck right at dark.

After the hunt I told my son I felt like I was more nervous than he was before the shot. Thankful his practice paid off and he’s now wanting to go again next weekend 😂
Congratulations .
