Title: Longbow buck for meat , PIC's ADDED Page 4
Post by: Gerardo on December 09, 2010, 10:14:00 PM
Our season here in Mexico started on the 27 of november, I missed  a very big buck in the morning at 20 yds. I just shot over him  amazing but it happens.

 I have a pop up ground blind and I bought a small one and was fighting with it trying to open my bow kneeling down and staying still will kneeling. So well the good thing is he is still out there and I have more than 40 days of season left.

I redeemed myself with this small spike buck , exellent for meat and good eating

I would take that guy in a heart beat right now, I still haven't taken a deer with my trad bow yet. So anything would be a for real trophy for me!

This picture describes my morning the guy on the right is the one I missed , he is really tall it doesn´t show much on the pic , but he is a nice one, has a second G1 on the left rack,

the one I did kill is the guy on the left, pretty strange spike.

Good Job! Wow you are making me miss the annual trip south already and its not even january yet! That pic and all the cactus makes me miss the south ! Ouch!! Already barely breaking freezing here during the day and down in low single digits at night. Hoping to make plans to get out of Nebraska and head south sometime after newyears! Happy Holidays, Jerry.

Its  a 2.5 year old buck and the landowner asked that if they are 2.5 and don't have a rack they go down , so we need to follow his rules. Usually at this age they have a nice little rack

Post by: gobblegrunter on December 14, 2010, 08:07:00 PM
I'm with Rambo, I wouldnt call that a spike, I'd call it a 6pt at least. I also second the euro mount idea. That'd be pretty cool!

Being that christmas and new years lay on a weekend, it has been difficult for me to take some time for hunting, I managed to free myself tomorrow morning. My plan is to leave the house at 5 in the morning so I can be hunting in the blind by 6 30 , I have seen a big 12 pointer following some does in a place i want to hunt tomorrow and will try to rattle him in or get a look at him. Temps have been in the thirties and that for us is cold. So the bucks must be wild and I feel lucky so let see how it goes

Hunt hard and shoot straight.

Congrats on the buck for "meat".

It amazes me, how the terrain is so different, but the deer are the same...
