Title: Oldways 2007 Whitetail Pic's
Post by: oldway on November 28, 2007, 05:00:00 PM

Hello Tradgangers,Just thought I would share a couple of pictures of the Buck I shot Saturday November 24.He has 5 points on the right antler and 8 on the left.Sorry the pictures don't show the left antler very well,but a snow storm was heading in and I was in abit of a rush to get him out.
The hunting this year was tough to say the least.With Deer populations way down in our area due to a heavy snowfall last year and high populations of coyotes.I spent more time in the stand this year than the last two combined.I shot this one from a stand over a well used trail going to a food source.
There was a conciderable amount of rut activity along this route.This also was a second chance buck.Because a week prior I had a shot at the same deer and shot just over his back.I hit him as he past by my stand,it was a good quartering away shot.He ran less than fifty yards before going down.The bow I used was a homemade 3pc. takedown longbow,62"ntn. pulling 58lb.@ 28".The arrows were cedar and the broadhead was a stos 160gr.Well I've got to go,so I hope you enjoy the pic's and so long for now,Dell.

Awesome Buck Dell,,,,,, just plain inspiring. You do know that you'll have to do a seperate thread about your T/D bow,,, the 1pc Hybrid you made was sweet. This one looks like it's inherited some good traits.

Oldway,

Man, you're an absolute killer!  I've enjoyed seeing the pictures of the (multiple) big bucks, elk and blackbear you've taken with your homemade bows.  Congratulations once again.
