Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to the bowhunter group. My name is Blake, and this is my first season out with a bow. I want to give a huge shoutout to Passthru for teaching me the ropes and guiding me through the steps of bowhunting. We met up about a month ago for a weekend hunt, and it was a rollercoaster experience, to say the least! On the first day, I had a shot at a doe but missed—hit the shoulder blade with no penetration. That evening, I shot at a hog and had the same result: shoulder shot with little penetration. After that, Passthru gave me some incredibly helpful tips and tricks. The next morning, I went back out feeling more prepared. At about 20 yards, I finally got a good shot on a doe! It ran over 600 yards, and I had to hire a dog to help track it, but I recovered it in the end. I’m super excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning even more from all of you. If anyone knows some good bowhunting spots around Dallas let me know, I have looked into Lake Tawakoni. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/12/full-67376-438794-img_0543.jpg)

Congrats. The addiction begins.

He did great. I enjoyed the weekend with Blake in camp. If our hogs ever return in numbers we'll give it another whirl!
