Hey guys, another KY boy makes meat! I shot a 115lb doe at 8:05 this am. 3 does came in under my stand, grazing on the edge of a field, I hit her at 22yds, between the 4th and 5th rib, RH side quatering away, stopped in the off shoulder, but not before putting a big hole in the shoulder blade, tip sticking through the skin. I was shooting a 1976 BW HS1226, Alum.handle, 60" #46@28, Vapor 2000, Chartreuse wraps and 4" parabolics, wensel woodsman. She took of, made it about 40 yds and wheeled into a sink hole and crashed, never got out of site. The flourescent wrap and feathers on the end of the shaft sticking out looked like a traffic officer waving a wand in little circles in the early morning sunlight. This was the first shot I have had since the season opened, wife missed one on Sunday evening, right over its back. I have seen 23 deer since this weekend hunting, all have been too far away or right behind me in some thick stuff. Last night saw several deer, wind really rough here, switching back and forth, deer really spooky. A 8 point came in to my blind, 8yds, and just as he stopped some birds blew out of a bush and spooked him, he blew out of there like he was on fire. His rack was weird, 6-7inch spikes sticking out of the bases, one drop tine, all different directions. A buddy killed one on my property last year that looked similar to this, but was an old buck, weighed 180 field dressed in gun season. he also had a broken leg that had healed back straight and stiff. I wonder if he has passed these genetics on? Well, Im on vacation till the 16th, got to finish mowing, take a shower and go hunting toingh, thought I would chime in.
