Tried a Snuffer 160gr again
« on: January 29, 2017, 08:30:00 PM »

Going through some inventory of broadheads and pulled out a BIG 160gr Snuffer.  I have not shot a deer in a few years with one. I put a 100 grain woody weight under it, glued it all together and it spun near perfect.  Shot it in basement at 17 yds with tapered POC out of my Hill style Big River bow, 55# 66"  and it flew great and hit were I wanted. Pulled across 600 grit wet sand paper for 10 minutes and it seemed deadly.

One of my ol brothers was more than happy to push our wood lot. After multiple wind checks, a push was set up. I picked a ground ambush  behind a big cherry wide enough to hide behind, trimmed two lanes to trails on each side of me and stepped the snow down around the base of the tree for silent squirreling around the tree to stay hidden from deer. Good wind and only an eyeball exposed from behind the tree, I was confident in the potential for something to happen.

Not even a half hour passed, here comes a fawn followed by a doe at 60 yds followed by a big one sided 8 pointer. They pick their way slowly through the honey suckle, stopping, looking back and scanning ahead. Off they go well out of range.  Minutes later a nice 8 pointer takes almost the same route as the other deer.  Here comes a big doe?? I get ready to shoot but it turns out to be a buck that dropped it rack. Fun to watch him go by against the snowy backdrop.  That may be it for deer. More movement and a doe comes heading right at me but holds up at 25 yds and checks her back trail, over the ridge comes a buck, she waits for him and they stand motionless in front of me as I watch with a sliver of my eye sticking out from behind the tree.  After 10 minutes the doe starts to make her way on the trail just out of my range, but the buck cuts the corner and starts down my trail. I draw with my cherry tree blocking my movement, hold as he comes into the trimmed opening, the Snuffer tipped wood shaft goes up to the fletch and he runs away leaving a trail on the pure white snow a helicopter could follow.

Good job filling a tag in the late season!!!
Nothing like a nice gentle push to get the deer up and moving.  Looks like you and your brother executed perfectly.
