I shot my first whitetail this season tonight!

In a world where the supply chain is failing, real food is being corrupted, and I can't even read most ingredients listed on the "foodstuff" the offer at the market these days, we prefer to develop our wild skills like foraging, fishing, and hunting. Tonight, I took an hour long walk. On such walks, it's not uncommon for me to look like this...

Often, I'll "stalk-hunt" Whitetail Deer through the woods, where I creep along slowly and try to locate them to get in range. Tonight, I just found a nice spot to sit down and wait. This one showed up soon after, and when I was ready, I took my shot. She was a decent distance from me, but facing away at an almost forty-five degree angle, with her right side towards me. My shot hit true, and the broad head tip on arrow landed in her heart. She did not make it far, and by the time I walked over to her, she was already dead.

A kill like that ends the life quickly and avoids wasting meat. It may be my best shot ever with my crossbow. Another cool thing is that I was only gone for an hour from when I left home to hunt to when I successfully returned. While hunting may not be for everyone, it is for me. Also, these photos show blood and such things as come along with harvesting animals for meat. If that's not your thing, you're free to move on. You've been warned. Thanks!
