No worries ya'll I dont have much gear i keep things pretty simple these days :p
Well anyhoot as I awoke in the stand and rubbed my eyes I saw some movement behind the scrub oak. I stood and got ready not thinking it was anything other then a tree rat wich i intended on taking a pop shot at heh. Any hoot here comes this deer walking in quartering towards me. He comes in to 13 yards and grabs a corn cob on the ground and starts chewing on it. he makes his way in a circle and then turns broadside at 11 yards man what a mistake! I drew let down drew again and let that arrow sore! Perfect double lung with a magnus 140g 2016 w/ nana fletch out of my Bear Tigercat 43@28. Pass through and sent him runnin!!! He ran out circled back and did his final dance not 20 yards from my tree and my prayer was sent up as I always do when I take an animals life. Climbed down packed my gear and started the long haul out!
It didn't hit me until after the shot and I sat back down in my stand that I had finally done it!
I have to thank nontypical for gettin me started in trad archery and being so patient with me! I also have to thank mysticguido for losing his arrow at a 3D shoot LOL. I found his arrow recognized it and intended on returning it to him until I shot it from my bear and it flew like a DART! I told him I'd return it after I killed something with it so now Sal its all your bud I've done the deer heh!
I would also like to thank everyone that has helped me along the way brian scott mike and all you guys from the 3Ds I learned a ton from everyone there as well as all the things I've learned from tradgang here! Thanks everyone you guys made this possible!
Oh yea I'M HOOOOOOKED!
