Got this one yesterday. 40 yards. Put 40 yard red dot on heart, took safety off, squeezed trigger, and game over.

Small Doe Yesterday

What did you use to take it down?
I used a Parker Safari 150# crossbow and a 20" Parker bolt with a fixed 3 blade broadhead by Montec.
Montec 100 grain one piece broadhead, no interchangeable blade inserts. First time with these broadheads.
Previous 2 deer with the crossbow were taken with Hoyt/Easton 4 blade Chuck-It broadheads that came with the
crossbow when I bought it all set up at Tommy's Sportsman's Den, route 106 in Halifax, MA.
Crossbow has a Simmons Red Dot sight with 3 red dots that work well at 20, 30, and 40 yards.
I went to Bass Pro yesterday and bought a 3 pack of 100 grain Grim Reaper mechanical with 2" cut.
Going to give an expandable a try for the first time. My son uses mechanicals in his compound bow with devastating results.
Tommy's Sportsman's Den, route 106 in Halifax, MA???
Never knew about that place, and I'm one town over...
How's his shop?

Tommy has done me a lot of good deeds over the years. The place is in the building with Halifax Glass.
He runs both places and sells bait etc, archery stuff, muzzle loader stuff also. Tommy used to be in the place
all the time, but now he is busy elsewhere a lot of the time. Has others there. I tagged the small doe there Saturday
and he wasn't there. Think it was his mom who tagged it. It was The Outdoor Sportsman's until Bruce moved to Hanson.
I know Bruce, spent a lot of money in his shop.
So did my son and I, but never again. My mom always said if you can't say something good about someone,
don't say anything, so I will let that be all I will say.
don't say anything, so I will let that be all I will say.
So it's not just me then.... I too am done.
Whatever. It was a female and the tagging station registered it as a doe, not a fawn. The only reason I posted it at all was to
keep people who haven't got one from being discouraged. If an overweight, 71 year old dumbass with a bad heart can
do it, anyone can. By the time I got it drug out of the woods to my truck, I thought it was a moose.

Good for you old man!! Next time bring some porters along like they do on those African big game hunts.

I hunted for years with a Bear Super Kodiak recurve, then went to a Hoyt Raptor compound. Rotator cuff injuries to both shoulders
made it necessary to go to a crossbow as I couldn't draw my compound any longer. If Mass hadn't allowed crossbows for disabled
archery hunters, that whole phase of hunting would have been gone out of my life. I am waiting now for a super light crossbow to be
offered by some manufacturer, yet still have the power and velocity. I would advise you to go for the permit because you will probably
need it eventually.
I forgot, I started with a lemonwood longbow, and it was the only bow I never got a deer with.

Very funny... Great job! There's always one in the crowd.
