First Selfbow Deer
« on: October 05, 2013, 10:03:58 pm »
Well I finally took my primitive bow out deer hunting.  I was a little unsure because it is 43# at 27 inches but Pearly assured me I could get the job done.  I am used to being able to shoot 20 yards with a compound so I had to set up my stands for 10 yard shots.  First time out the deer comes in early morning and I don't have an arrow ready.  I was still kicking myself for missing that opportunity and it came back at 8 yards.  I had to grunt to get it to stop.  It was still a little dark when I shot but it acted as if it were hit.  I waited an hour and got down and followed an easy blood trail to the deer. I found the arrow about 20 yards from the first blood and it was covered in blood from tip to nock.  I think it may be the smallest deer I have shot but it will be one of my most memorable.

Congrats Ryan!
That's a beautiful deer!
You've now done something few living archers have, the first deer I killed with a selfbow, was a small doe also and for me it was a very memorable point in my hunting life.
Congrats again!
