I love not having the wings, I didn’t think I was going to like the handle , but love it!!!!!Soooo used the EDP for the first time yesterday. After 2 years with a Predator, it was a change. But I think I'm gonna like it once I get used to it. I like the way they shaped it. I would recommend it.
The only thing I had to change was the 3D hook on the back of my saddle for the platform. I got one for EDP so no big deal.I love not having the wings, I didn’t think I was going to like the handle , but love it!!!!!

Went out this morning 25 degrees w/ 12-15 mph winds. 1st cold morning I’ve gotten to hunt. I debated stands before I went to sleep & got up early to go to a place close by that’s been good to me this time of year. But wind was a little different than what was forecasted last night. So I decided to go behind the house in the river bottom ( also meant another 40mins of sleep). Got up headed out & enough moon to slip to the tree without my headlamp. Climbed up & got settled. Was plenty warm even with the wind, first time this season wearing my IWOM. Beautiful morning, no deer! I questioned my sanity I stayed put. At 745 I heard crashing & caught movement, a doe shot between me & the riverbank. I saw the second deer & hear a grunt as he stopped behind a tree at 50yds. I was able to grab my bow & saw tines as he closed to 25yds, I stopped him & shot. He stepped as I released & it’s about 4-6” further back than I’d like. He walked slowly away tail tucked & bedded about 75-80yds across the river. I watched him for an hour through binos & he finally rebedded a few yards away in deadfall facing away so I slipped out about 3 hours after the shot. I’m going to wait until about 3oclock & see if he’s dead in that last bed. The highs & lows of bow hunting!!!!!
Good luck. Sounds optimistic to me.
I hope you nailed him!!!Went out this morning 25 degrees w/ 12-15 mph winds. 1st cold morning I’ve gotten to hunt.
