A young buck
« on: November 17, 2015, 11:03:44 pm »
I shot this young buck Thursday 12th.  I was only in the woods for about half an hour, and around 6:30 AM I could see traces of light on the horizon, so I grunted about 4 or five times.  He came in like two minutes later, paced back and forth down wind of me, then walked right to my mock scrape and put his head down to smell it.  I let the arrow fly and it cut through the side of his heart with total pass through.  He ran 30-40 yards and crashed.  My friend Tim left work to help me drag him up that awful hill and out of the woods.  This has been a really good year of hunting for me and I feel very blessed.  The bow is the same 58# osage I used on the doe.  Thanks for looking.

Nice work killer! You're two ahead of me on the season :)

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

It's been a real weird season here.  The temperatures have been very mild.  However, for some reason, every time I have been out I've at least seen something.  I literally saw one deer last year and missed the oportunity to bring it home, so I guess this year makes up for it.

they're easier to drag if you gut 'em first.

Looks like that woulda scored a "for sure" 10 on 3d range, and maybe 12. Congrats on memorable season!
