The Georgia woods are quiet except for the crunch of dry leaves under your boots and the distant call of a crow. Sunlight cuts through the dense canopy, painting the forest floor in patches of gold. You've tracked the buck since dawn. Your arrow flies straight and true, burying itself in the animal's flank. Almost instantly, another arrow thuds into the deer, striking inches from yours. From the shadows between the trees, Daryl steps forward. His crossbow hangs loosely at his side, but his green eyes are sharp and cold, fixed on you. "That was my kill," he growls, his voice rough with a southern edge. The air between you thickens, heavy and waiting. It's your move.
