Title: It was a good morning!!!!!
Post by: on October 08, 2015, 01:24:00 PM: I went to the place I hunt here in town this morning. I did not have a lot of hopes because they are building a strip center next door, and a crew of cedar cutters just got done after more than two weeks on the place (you can see all the cedar mulch on the ground in the pic). About 30 minutes after sunrise, a few deer came in, and this guy was with them.

I don't know how old he is, but he was a bruiser, body-wise! Shot him at 13yds and watched him fall at 50-60yds!

When I walked up to him, I was looking at the exit side, and saw a hole really high. The entrance hole was in the armpit, and I was flabbergasted thinking that he could have moved enough to make my exit that high! After further inspection, I discovered he had been shot in the backstrap very recently. There were 2 sets of entrance and exit holes!

The lower hole is my entrance hole. The upper hole was made by a 3-blade, and center punched both backstraps!

I found out just a while ago that a guy on the next place had shot him yesterday evening, and could not find him!

I had no clue he had been wounded before until I walked up to him after I shot him! They sure are some tough critters!

Have I ever told y'all that I love to hunt with my longbow?

Post by: Michael Arnette on October 10, 2015, 08:28:00 AM: Very nice Texas buck! I have lost the very first buck I shot with traditional equipment the same as the guy you mentioned. Straight through the backstrap, I think it was a combination of my high shot and him ducking the string. Just hoes to show how it's not hardly a lethal shot.

Post by: shedhunta on October 10, 2015, 11:08:00 AM: Very nice. Congrats!!!! My biggest ever had two holes in his neck from a broadhead. Entry and exit. I had no clue when I shot him. It was starting to get real nasty but did not stop him from chasing does. Tough amazing animals.
