missed twice! (pic)
« on: December 05, 2007, 10:32:00 PM »
Had a chance for my first trad kill tonight when a nice size doe came in and offered a shot through the trees. After the shot, the deer ran off but a grunt from my tube brought them back in. The big doe stopped at the very same spot and gave me another try as darkness was setting in. Second shot sounded like I hit wood. When I came down from my tree and looked for the arrows, this is what I found:  .
 At least I was consistent!!!

You better throw that in the crock pot now. Might be a while to get it cooked and tender enough to eat.

i doubt cooking will help any either...

it happens, i took a pic of arrow i missed a nice doe with a few years ago. the shot was only 12 steps and some how i managed to center punch a sapling that i never knew was there.

on the positive side you have a nice group....

couple more shots and you can cut the tree in half!  Great group though.

I got one hanging in my camp with the arrow sticking out,not as big, next to the antlers.It gets talked about more than the antlers.It also  feels better than sticking in the dirt or mud.Kip

That one will look great on your wall...take it to a professional for debarking and cutting....have them do it in the "tongue & groove" style...awesome trophy and very practical!

Sorry, couldn't resist.  Been there myself only my group was not as tight.  Keep after it and keep your sense of humor!
