Scored with the Axiom today, about a 100 pound doe. Boltcutter went through and through and she dropped about 25 yards later.
Got to the stand late and after a half hour saw a small 5 point walking the creek about 70 yards away. An hour later two does come galloping down the trail and I chose the bigger of the two. They were moving briskly and it took two beys to get her to stop and I let the bolt fly.
This was the second deer I have taken, the first one when I was 16, 20 years ago with my dad with an old single shot shotgun. Dad's been gone for 4 years now, I feel his presence every time I walk through the woods as we buried him there, along with his brother at the entrance. I'd like to think he was around this morning...
