Hunted hard all day saturday in hopes I would get a birthday buck with my recurve (looking for the first traditional harvest) but sun up to sun down I saw ZERO deer!
A little discouraged I went home enjoyed the lords day with my family and decided I would give it one more shot before work monday morning.
I get up pack my gear and hit the woods and am in stand 1/2 before sunrise. I sat all morning and saw nothing so took a little power nap in stand LOL. When I awoke I saw movement behind a scrub oak 30 yards away. I stand get positioned not thinking anything of it just wanted to be ready. Here it comes oblivious I'm in the tree I wait pick my spot and draw. Then let down...BACK TENSION BACK TENSION BACK TENSION my little deamon was yelling at me...I draw again lock into my stance and rock solid I was. Hold for a good 45 seconds until there was the "perfect shot" and I let the spiritual arra fly!!!
This is what I found...

You guys will get the rest of the story once I finish packing my gear up :p

Looks like a good start. Cant wait to hear the rest of the story!!
-
All of these "Lam-O-Philes" with their installment plan stories. LOL. I don't mind when I come in at the end of the story and can read it all in one sitting. Keep going.

No worries ya'll I dont have much gear i keep things pretty simple these days :p
Well anyhoot as I awoke in the stand and rubbed my eyes I saw some movement behind the scrub oak. I stood and got ready not thinking it was anything other then a tree rat wich i intended on taking a pop shot at heh. Any hoot here comes this deer walking in quartering towards me. He comes in to 13 yards and grabs a corn cob on the ground and starts chewing on it. he makes his way in a circle and then turns broadside at 11 yards man what a mistake! I drew let down drew again and let that arrow sore! Perfect double lung with a magnus 140g 2016 w/ nana fletch out of my Bear Tigercat 43@28. Pass through and sent him runnin!!! He ran out circled back and did his final dance not 20 yards from my tree and my prayer was sent up as I always do when I take an animals life. Climbed down packed my gear and started the long haul out!
It didn't hit me until after the shot and I sat back down in my stand that I had finally done it!
I have to thank nontypical for gettin me started in trad archery and being so patient with me! I also have to thank mysticguido for losing his arrow at a 3D shoot LOL. I found his arrow recognized it and intended on returning it to him until I shot it from my bear and it flew like a DART! I told him I'd return it after I killed something with it so now Sal its all your bud I've done the deer heh!
I would also like to thank everyone that has helped me along the way brian scott mike and all you guys from the 3Ds I learned a ton from everyone there as well as all the things I've learned from tradgang here! Thanks everyone you guys made this possible!
Oh yea I'M HOOOOOOKED!
