Title: Heart Attack
Post by: sdorton on September 09, 2023, 01:26:32 AM
I don’t really know where to begin….But I finally got The Heart Attack Buck I’ve been chasing for a few years now.  I’ve lost sleep, missed family events with their blessing of course and so on. And I did it the hard way…with Traditional equipment my Toelke Recurve.  I could have killed this joker numerous times last year during gun season if not for me carrying my longbow.  Heck I could have killed him with a compound bow too. I had him on 3 different hunts @ 30yds. But for some damn reason I like doing things the hard way….and that just makes it that much sweeter!!!  Shout out to Aj Olivas and Joel F Olivas for helping me get him out of woods.

Got him rough scored at 167 5/8”

No Sir...He was full velvet.  Although he did damage it when he went down.

Nice one! Congrats on sticking with it.
I was after one for 3 yrs on our property. Missed him the third day of the season his last year. I didn't realize that he was stunted on the side away from me at the time. Passed him three more times after, hoping he would straighten out the next year. He got killed on my neighbors during the shotgun, muzzleloader season. Real Bummer
