Katrina, my cousin Tom's daughter, took her first deer this week. She was hunting alone and I was "on call". I helped her track the deer- she took a 25 yard shot and it was right on the money. The blood trail was easy to follow for the first 75 yards, but it took at least half an hour to finish the last 25 yards. I've never hunted with a bow before and we both learned a lot from Katrina's friend Jim, who skinned out and broke down the deer, which is something that I've never done. In our family, we've always taken the deer to a butcher for processing. Jim made it look easy and gave great instructions, but I know that there's a learning curve. My brother Tom also helped out today.
