Bowhunting during the Gun Season
« on: November 25, 2007, 08:05:00 PM »
This past saturday I got a chance to slip away up to North Carolina to hunt with some friends of mine.  Thanksgiving break was great and I spent most of my time hunting around the upstate and hanging out with mom while my wife and son went to see grandmom in N.J.(I don't go to Jersey in the fall because it is to cold and I have no place up there to hunt).  Left home Friday night at 12:00 headed for my huntin budy's house, Regg.  Regg lives just north of Charlotte and an hour away from the hunting grounds.  Well we loaded up his truck and took off.  Regg had a spot on the back of the property where bucks had been slipping out that he wanted to gun hunt.  I had hung a stand a week earlier in a funnel that I wanted to hunt.

Well I settled in to my stand just before sun up and could hear deer walking behind my stand in the briar swamp area.  As the sun rose, the guns began to crack off in the distance.  I don't mind the guns at all.  Lets me know the deer are moving. We'll after a morning of listening to fireworks and being entertained by squirer, the action picked up at 10:15.  All at once I could hear several deer running down the bottom.  Three does came into view.  When they hit the bottom, they stopped to check the area.  The lead doe was a big pieball deer.  The checked the area over good and preceded to walk down a trail that ran right in front of my stand.  As the lead doe walked in front of my stand, I came to full draw, picked a spot just behind her front leg and let the string slip from my fingers.  The shot was a little off, but still a good one, entering the top of her shoulder.  I didn't get a complete passthrough but the 190 Interseptor did bust through the sholder and when we dressed her out we found that the Interseptor had completely cut through the heart.  She ran just forty yards back up the hill from which she came and died on the hill.  I feels good to make the chip shot after missing one earlier this season.

Congrats Interseptor!!  What a neat looking deer and trophy. I've seen lots of deer in my life, but never one like that.  I think I'd have to get that hide tanned hair on.

Congradulations!  Bowhunting during the gun season is a challenge, the deer are a little more wired.  Way to go!  :thumbsup:

Great work, glad someone got to hunt during the holiday. A couple of questions for you, how do you like the simmons quiver and have you always had such good results with the simmons broadheads?

That's a very unique trophy. I've never seen a piebald deer in the wild.
