It's been over 20yrs since I last hunted
« on: November 08, 2011, 11:25:00 PM »
First thanks to all on the site as I have learned much here at tradgang getting started again with all the equipment tunning and all could not have done it with out the help.
 Got out this evening after work in the homemade ground blind made out of old cammo netting. Was in it for about an hour when this old doe made a mistake and came within 10yds. Picked the spot low as I had one jump the string on me in October and duck the arrow well got it done with a 66' K-Mag at 50# with a 200gn Tusker Aztec up front and she took off maybe 40yds stood there for a few seconds thought I missed again and she fell over had to control myself to stay put for the 30 minutes waiting to go check on her. I ended up getting a complete pass through arrow was another 15yds behind where she was standing when the shoot was taken half way in the ground covered in blood. Again thank you all for the help.
