Crossbows are quiet and easy to use.

The problem is the 100+ yds they make after the shot. And then do you just dump gut piles on people's backyards? I do use a crossbow though. I passed hunter safety with my compound bow but I just think crossbows are more ethical.

I was mostly joking, but realistically, it is always a crap shoot. I have seen deer disappear into the brush after what you would swear was a shot straight through the ticker, and others drop inside 10 yards. You just never know.

I got a Bassett hound puppy. I'm hoping she's my tracker.

I had a yearling doe on private in PA grazing at 10 yds at my FILs farm. But the role was 3 points on one side or a big doe so I passed on the shot.
