It's been a long frustrating season for me this year. I passed up quite a few deer in the early season looking for MR. big. Around November 7th (just when it gets good here) I ended up moving into a new home and hunting was put on the back burner while the packing and unpacking was going on. Just in the last few days have I been able to slip away for a few hunts.
This morning I headed to a place in Indiana I used to hunt alot, the spot I had in mind was a long way from the road. We have had a spell of crazy weather lately snow, freezing rain and rain so I took my time getting to where I wanted to be skirting pactches of old snow and ice. When I got there I stuck a few limbs in the ground for a makeshift blind and settled in on my little tripod stool. It was overcast and seemed like it took forever to break light this morning, but just after I could see good I spotted a group of 3 deer working down the ridge to me. I knocked an arrow and slipped off my stool onto my knee's as the deer were quickly coming my way. The first deer was a button buck and he passed by me at less than 10 yards. The old heart was really thumping today normaly does and yearlings don't get me stirred up but today was different! The second deer (another button buck) walked exactly where the first had, and momma doe was right behind him. I let her walk past me to a slight quartering away 10 yard shot, and drew the obsidian tipped arrow. As soon as I hit anchor the shaft was away flying exactly to the tuft of hair I had picked just behind her shoulder. 40 yards down the trail and it was all over, except for the 4 hour drag back to the road! I am flat out worn out!
Picture was at home I didn't pack my camera today!
And one with the knife catfishon sent me with a note saying "I wanna see some deer blood on this"
Lastly here's the obsidian head, Complete penetration in fact it's back in the quiver ready for work!
This was the first deer I have taken with the my Bob Lee. I'll be out there again tomorrow hopefully the orange muzzleloader crowd will give me the woods to myself again!
