From this last November.
41# 1966 Bear Grizzly.
WW broadhead with 250 gr. total up front.
Hunting with my brother and a buddy on an annual bowhunting trip to Michigan (our 15th year). Three days left in the hunt, and I was out at first light in a small white oak that sits at the edge of a swamp / swail that divides some open ground and a small wood lot. Stand is not more than 10' off the ground, and the branches on the oak afford great concealment.
Not 5 minutes on stand, and this deer came in from the open ground on the swamp side of me. I shot him through the lungs at approx 12 yards.
He ran in a loop of about 40 yards that ended on the far edge of a thicket. I couldn't see him, but I knew that he had stopped running. After about 30 seconds of silence, I heard him bound twice. Then heard him crash. Yeehaw!
As you can tell from my smile, I was pretty proud of this buck. I'd had a couple selfbow deer kills (two of them with bows in the low 40#'s), but this was my first with a recurve in my third year of trying one. Can't wait for the 2014 hunt!
