There's something different about taking down a deer or an elk with a bow.
At close range.
It's hard to explain, but it's different just the same.
My best guess is becuase it's so close, you "feel the presants of the animal".
In your face, right there.
Almost overwhelming is the feeling at the time.
You and him, right there, at this moment.
Just like that.
Best of luck to all who hunt the woods this fall.
