Title: Kentucky Tasty!
Post by: KentuckyTJ on September 29, 2012, 10:01:00 PM
Well, I like to wait for the October lull to really start taking shots at does. Its close enough. Went in late today to a old ground blind in a super funnel. Had a perfect wind for it so I popped up the chair and waited. Had a doe come through around 5:30 just out of range then three more came through at 6:30. One of the little gals got too close to the dead pile of cedars. Hit her in the left shoulder and the Grizzly zipped through her almost long ways exiting right in front of her right back ham. I never found my arrow as it tucked under the grass somewhere. She made it about 30 yards on a dead run. Meat in the fridge. Get the crock pot out honey! Good day!

Congrats Tom.  What kind of chair is that?

Post by: KentuckyTJ on September 30, 2012, 08:09:00 AM
Charlie, that is a fantastic blind chair. IMO the perfect balance of mobility and comfort and it's very quiet. Got it at BPS for $25. I can strap it on or fold it up and stuff it in my back pack for the walk in.

Soaked it in rootbeer overnight and the flavor is very good. Put a bunch of spices in the pot with it. My 13 year old daughter even liked it.

Glad I looked here TJ, missed it almost. Mason has a el cheapo metal detector he got one year for his B day. Get you one and go find that arrow bud. We have not lost an arrow yet. Paid for itself many times over with some arrows costing around $15 each it don't take long.

We kept some of the hams and shoulder whole from a very small doe last year and yes, makes some awesome BBQ !!! Wife's Uncle has a BBQ store and we simply drop them off and eat em up, MMMMMM!!

Great idea Jimmy. Got a very funny story for ya on my ol' Dad. Before he got too old to bowhunt anymore he was aging and had trouble setting up treestands, so I set him up in a alfalfa field corner one year and on opening day he went in and shot and missed a buck. All he kept talking about was that he was ok with the miss but "The dang arrow slid under the grass and I can't find it". Man that drove him nuts. When I went back there to retrieve the stand the next week he had taking the mower back there and scalped down the alfalfa in a long straight fanned out path trying to find that arrow. Hahaha. I about fell over I was laughing so hard.

Congrats!!

I kept looking at the blind photo and wondering why the bow was hanging way over there??  Then I realized your a righty - or I'm a lefty as it may be - Doh??

Looks like a great spot to enjoy the woods from but I would like the chair turned around please :-)

That's awesome.  I should have a doe in the freezer too but I sent the dang arrow over her back!  You drilled her the way it's supposed to be done!  congrats!
