This hunting season has been diffrent for me, I broke my knee in multiple places acting as an acl tear so ive been using my daughter’s ebike. I did an evening sit on the 8th and was blessed with a decent 8 point with my crossbow so with pressure off and surgery being on the 15th I wanted to try and get one with compound before im all hemmed up did another evening sit on the 13th and even though it was hot I had alot of action after sun went down lot of does and a decent buck walked out at last light I went full draw but with lighting conditions I didnt feel comfortable taking it and in my condition tracking would not be fun and I knew with the amount of does and bedding in my area I knew one of em had to be hot, so I snuck in there in the morning running late not even 20 minutes later 4 bucks dead sprinted under me and it caught me off gaurd not even 75 yards there he was and there just so happened to be a doe as well she came into 20 he followed and read the script gave em the ole meh and let it fly he piled up after about 25 yards beyond blessed this year
