A few weeks later I was in a different spot and back at it, and my does went on alert looking just downwind of the stand. I knew there was a buck out of view watching the ladies and to my surprise he walked through my scent and hopped into the feeder enclosure. With the compound I was 100% confident and sent the arrow through both lungs as he stood slightly quartering away. He made it farther than I anticipated, but went down about a hundred yards from the feeder. Now I can relax and keep practicing with the longbow to continue to improve that skill. I might get a shot at a cull deer before season ends, but at any rate with frequent practice I should be ready for next season when it gets here.
