First whitetail night of the year, rainy day could have stayed inside. This particular spot has always been good. Usually use a stand for whitetails but I’ve found hunting does fun, challenging and rewarding from the ground. Set out and setup under a fallen tree, no blind just sit in the shadows. She came in downwind and stopped as she hit my downwind scent as I let arrow fly. Entering point of shoulder and exiting out opposite side behind rear rib. Full pass through 100 grain grim reaper at 32 yards. 15 yard recorvery. Upon reaching arrow stuck in tree I could smell contents of gut. I knew there was no way the shot was bad as I saw it disappear at the shoulder. But she reacted to the arrow and spun to leave. They are quick!
