Where to start????First Long bow buck,,,,
« on: October 30, 2007, 07:52:00 AM »
I think Ray Charles could have followed this blood trail,, the blood was almost two feet wide and the tree truncks were just splattered with blood as he passed them. These pics were taken by Kevin 5 hours later.

It was a perfect morning with a heavy frost. The moon was bright,the wind gentle,in one of my favorite ground blinds,, everything seemed right up to this point in the hunt.

At first shooting light I see a flicker of movement behind a youg blue spruce and out steps this nice little buck. He's not in shooting range yet and he is quatering tword me ,,he moves about three more steps and now is about 20 yrds and he also turned more braudside but a slight quarter.. I anchor and let it loose,,

Whoa, hoss!!! Either you're a little bitty fella   :rolleyes:  or else that buck has a good sized body on him.  Could be I'm used to blacktails, but that looks like a great deer to me.  Congrats!

The shot sounded great with that chesty thud but I never made eye contact with the arrow and its placement,, my feather selection just doesn't seem to be brite enough for first light. I listen to him crash off,arrow hitting all sorts of brush and then I heard him crash through the almost impenatrable edge this swamp has to it., Now he has gone about 100 yrds in about 5 seconds, I'm thinking oh-boy,, Never heard him go down,, so I knock another arrow and try and relax and let the shakes stop. I always get the shakes after the shot, sometimes they are real bad and sometimes mild. I'd say they were mild this timeon the other hand, The doe I missed with the Little Delta Bow,,They were a ten on the rector scale,,it took a few min. to calm down after that shot. Be back later..

I sat till the frost started to burn off that morning. I was blessed to watch a doe about 30 yrds from me eating acorns. Started to track him and right when he turned around the blood was right there for all to see and there was alot of it. I trailed the blood right to him. He piled up on a deer trail inside the swamp.He went about 150 yards and the arrow was still in him.J

Congrats again bud!

That really was some bud trail fellas, one of the best that I have ever followed. I don't think the deer had an ounce of blood left in him!

Jason is not that small of a guy, that deer has a decent body to him, I was laughing the whole way out of the swamp as I was snapping photos of the brute carrying his prize home  :thumbsup:  

Great job again Jason!!
