Crossbow Advice

[Highlander]

MB,.. you are dead right in your description of the ability of deer, I dont know of any other animal that has the ability to get out of trouble better than one of those,.. even when you think you could just reach out and almost grab

I know that deer could be taken with a crossbow, but you would never do it by sneaking up to it,... experienced Estate shooters here need to show skill when stalking to within rifle range.

.... The best way to take deer would be from an ambush setting, you need to know where they go, the point they enter the wood for example, and lay in wait for them,.. getting high keeps your smell to a minimum, but trying to make a downward shot wouldn't be easy, best dig yourself in, and roll in the peat a bit so that you smell like the hole you are in
