By 7:00pm it looked like I was in for another night of being skunked when out of no where a couple of deer showed up to the north of me. With all intentions to harvest another doe because of the low inventory of venison in my freezer, I prepared for a shot. The deer came in to about 10 yards in no time at all. She looked as if she may have been a little on the small side, but I knew it was not small enough to be a yearling so all lights were green to take the shot. I drew my bow and followed her as she walked to the backside of my tree stand. Just as she gave me an open shot, I realized my bow was tangled in the bow holder on the side of the tree. I quickly cleared my bow of the holder while still at full draw, crouched down below it, and took the shot.
It was a double lung shot and the deer was down only 20 yards away. Andrew came in to help me drag it out despite of his allergic reactions. We didn't have a great camera or any lighting so sorry for the poor picture quality. Thank you Andrew and sorry about your puffy, red eyes.
This makes two doe for the year already so the pressure to fill the fridge up with venison is off, and I can hold out for the big boys now. Did I mention I love bow hunting!

You should put that meat in the freezer or it will go bad.
Is this a slam on my story title? Because I took at least one minute trying to think of a title that we didn't already have.
No slam. Just a suggestion. Nobody want venison that has been refrigerated for a year.
