10-19-20 button buck
« on: October 20, 2020, 10:37:37 AM »
I shot my first deer out of my tethrd mantis saddle Monday morning at 845.  Shot was 7 yards, right through the heart (see pics...chunks of heart on the ground.  Shouldve taken a pic of the heart but my hands were bloody.  Sliced the front top corner of the heart with 2 of the 3 blades).  I waited an hour and a half and when I got down to track, I followed blood for about 50 yards out into a standing bean field and glassed it with my binos.  I saw a white belly and a deer laying "dead"...

So I go walking over to the deer and when I get about 2 feet away it gets up and bulldozes the ground for about 20 yards before running into a tree and then kicking a few times and died.  I have never had that happen on a lethal shot and an hour and a half after the shot in 15  years of hunting with a bow!!!  Scared the crap out of me and made me almost do a back flip when it got up and bolted!  CRAZY STUFF!

Shot it with my primal tech 58" longbow.  51@28 drawn to 26.5.  Shooting gold tip trad .600's with 225 up front.  175gr VPA 3 blade went through the near shoulder and exited infront of the offside leg.

Thanks for reading...

Kevin

Congrats. I'm surprised he lived as long as he did after the shot.
