GEORGIA SLICK TEN | BWB 20.3
September 19th marked the beginning of a new adventure for Fred Branch as he prepared for his first hunt of the 2020 **fall bow hunting** season in Georgia. After a long week of work, he was eager to hit the woods and chase after a big buck he had his sights set on—a slick ten-pointer he had been tracking for over a year using **deer hunting trail cameras**. “It’s a lot nicer out here today than the 130 degrees I felt on the interstate,” he chuckled, feeling the refreshing breeze that accompanied the front moving through, a welcome change for any hunter.
With a brand new Expedition MX-15 bow in hand, Fred was fired up and ready to make his mark. This wasn’t just any bow; it was a testament to his dedication to the sport. “If you don’t spray down, you ain’t killing,” he reminded himself, applying scent control diligently as he made his way to the ground blind. The anticipation was thick in the air; he could almost feel the excitement of the hunt coursing through his veins. “Let’s see if we can’t get that slick ten this afternoon,” he thought, recalling how he had seen the same deer last year in this very spot, a true ghost of the Georgia woods.

With steady hands and focused determination, Fred drew back his bow.
