Last hour,last day of season buck
« on: January 15, 2008, 09:52:10 pm »
I thought I was skunked this season,after huntin' hard since late september.I thought I had a good one pinned down,with a still active,and very hot scrape.With less than an hour of light left on closing day,I did'nt get the one I was after,but was blessed with a shot at a small buck at 14 yards.I was huntin' with my old "miracle" bow,a 60# @ 28" boisd'arc flatbow I built about 8 years ago.My arrow was a privet shoot,tipped with a head I cut from an old saw blade,fletched with turkey feathers.The point and nock secured with deer leg sinew,from a bow killed deer.The arrow hit halfway up the nearside lung,severed the aorta,then exited low from the far side lung.He made it 60 yards before piling up. The blood trail could not have been any better.     God Bless      Pete C

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

  Way to go Pete. Great kill.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Thanks fellas,my daughter was at the house when I got home that evening and she took a couple of pictures with her digital camera.I'll try to get em up if possible. I say "if possible",because I attempted to post some pictures of a good tilapia hunt last summer,but could'nt make it work.Thanks again, God Bless, PeteC
