Title: Patience pays off (pics)
Post by: JoeM on October 07, 2008, 08:43:00 PM
Hey guys scored on a doe today and thought I would share a few pics.  Morning started off with the turkeys filling the morning air with there limb chatter.  Then at 7:15 had a doe come in munchin on acorns, she is walking right at my stand and not offering a shot.  As she starts to pass directly under my stand I keep telling myself this is a game of patience, let her pass and she should be quartering away. I let her walk away and slowly turned to re adjust hoping not to get busted.  Well it worked out at 7yds she quartered away and the result was a quick track job. Arrow cut through one of the back ribs on the way in and exited in front of the off side shoulder, taking out one lung and the heart. First animal I have taken with A Muzzy Phantom and i was very pleased with the outcome.Joe   (http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg177/Joe-Mart/P1000235.jpg)

Hey BobCo, i did have the bleeders on.  Shooting CX Heritage 150's with a 100grain insert and a 125 grain head, I've been going back in forth between Stingers and Phantoms. This set up gives me an arrow weighing 560 grains out of a 53# @25" bow. It was a close shot but the arrow did clip a rib on the way in then stuck pretty well into the dirt. Joe
