Below is the actual account of MBA member/Area Director B.J. Lewis' bowhunting experience of Sunday, November 29, 2009. Please read on for a delightful bowhunting story as related by B.J. Lewis.

"After a long 9 straight days of hunting, seeing 23 deer, missing 2 does and a bobcat, I finally connected.  I was hunting in Stone County the afternoon of Nov 29.  I slipped into my stand about 2:30 since I ran several deer out of the plot earlier in the week about 3-3:30 in the afternoon.  At 4 o'clock I had 2 deer come into the plot.  I waited for 35 min for them to feed their way into bow range.  As soon as they got into range they got real nervous and I thought they were fixing to bolt but it was 2 more deer coming into the plot.  They all fed to around 30 yards from me and that's when my nerves went wild.  After the 3 misses that week, I tried to calm down and make a good shot.  I settled the pin on it and let her go.  Don't know if it ducked the shot but I hit it in the spine and broke it down.  I had to shoot it again to finish it off.  After the week that I had, I was very happy with the outcome.  In the picture with me is my daughter, Riley Ann, I can’t wait till she is able to get her first one with a bow."
