Default my Ewe

Here a picture of a Ewe I was lucky enough to harvest with my Bow Sept 28/2014. We hike to the top of a ridge early Sunday morning. Sat in the fog for hours, then when the fog finally lifted ,we spotted some ewes below us. We stalked within 40 yards. Then I crawled 10 more. I drew my bow and had her at 30 yards. I shot, and just skinned the top of her back. So after watching her run a 1000 yards and up the next draw, I started the long walk back to truck. I wasn't in the best of moods. Then all of a sudden these two more ewes come running down the mountain across of us, down across the trail and right up to us. I ran about 20 yards uphill, then she popped over a little rise. I drew , put my 30 yards pin on her. My Hoyt sent a FMJ right in the lungs. Seeing the arrow hanging out both sides as she ran away. The blood trail was short and wide, about 70 yards straight down hill.
That's what you call the highs and lows of Bowhunting. Never give up! things happen fast some times.
