Took this button buck yesterday morning with a obsidian point on a bamboo shaft using my black locust double scalloped bow. Had two of them feeding to me and had my eye on the fatter one who stopped 14 yards away and broadside with two saplings blocking the kill zone. While I was waiting for him to present a shot this one came up
in front of me at 9 yards and I decided I better take him before one of 'em winded me. Slight quartering on and the arrow entered shoulder and took out artery above heart. The deer blasted out and I watched him fall within 50 yards, stone dead in under 10 seconds. Arrow undamaged with point detached and I found the point in the body cavity and
was amazed it was completely intact as well.
Not a big deer but I'm pleased. First with stone point , clean kill and taken after gun season which can be tough around here. Also saw a bobcat pass by me this morning and never have seen one in Illinois before, my brother saw one the day before too.
Also want to give credit to Bubby for giving me the nice obsidian points. Thanks Bub, that point did a great job and
I'm thrilled to have gotten a deer with one of your points. With a little luck I hope to make it happen again.

Congrats, nice little buck. Looks like the stone did it's work well. You will have some exceptional venison in the freezer this winter.
The rabbits are on the rise here in Nova Scotia, and as nature dictates, so are the bobcats. Nice to see since bunnys were pretty scares only 2 years ago.
-
Way to go! That will be some good eating.

Thank you my friends, appreciate the kind words. Not a big deer but taking it with Bubby's stone point sure made it feel special to me. :)

Congrats on the deer Greg! That is a great feeling!
-
Good job man!! I haven't harvested one with stone yet, but that has to be an awesome feeling.

Thanks guys, yeah it was definitely a different feeling getting one with the stone point. Felt pretty good about it until my wife saw the picture of the deer and said, "you shot a baby deer". ;D I had to tell her, "no a 75#er is a big one"
I don't think I fooled her though. ;)

Been there! Got a button a few years ago in muzz season and got some flak. We saw another button on our road in early October. I said"yummy" >:D she said "you leave him alone!" lol... sure enough I had a chance on him with my bow a few days later, but he came in straight on and busted me.
Great looking gear, and congrats on the stone kill!
-
SWEET!! Way to go Greg!! Congratz! dpg

Looks huge compared to mine the other day! Yep, the coyote weighed as much as the deer...... I skinned it out and cut up before anyone saw it at the camp. My wife would have given me grief if she had seen it, but she didn't complain about it once it hit the skillet!
-
Very cool Greg! Way to get it done man! Congrats!!
-
Howard, show her the picture and then brag about the biggest coyote ever taken. World record sized yote I tell ya!
-
Ha! Yeah, I doubt I could convince her that the coyote weighed 80lbs! Sadly, he was a pretty average full grown dog for this area and I could drag them both at the same time, so you can imagine what a small deer that is. No apologies here - it's all about meat to me. With the range that we are limited to and the limitations of our gear, when I get a shot that I know I can make on a legal deer, I am taking it. Congratulations on your hunt. Any deer is a trophy when you take it with stone points and a selfbow. If I had taken these with primitive gear I would have posted it with pride, but I am ashamed to say that I was using a taboo FG recurve, aluminum and steel :-[, It just isn't quite the same sport.
