Had a little luck today.

Started off the morning wrong by getting a late start.  I set an alarm on my cell but the battery ran out in the middle of the night so it had no power left to wake me up!

Got to the stand about 1/2 hour after legal shooting light.  No activity for the first hour so and then I caught a 4pt. sneeking behind me and saw another 6-8 does soon after.

Something spooked the does and 2 of them ran in front of my stand.  A decent sized doe crossed my shooting lane and I gave a quick bleat-like noise to stop her.  When she stopped, I picked a spot and shot.  I was high with the shot but hit the spine and dropping her on the spot.  I put another arrow through the vitals to finish things off quicker but I'm pretty sure the first arrow did the job.  Tenderloins tonight!

Got this guy at 7 AM. He was going below me at about 50 yards and I grunted at him and here he comes, shot him at about 17 yards. Hit him to far foward in the shoulder and thought I had messed up bigtime!!! He went downhill about 100 yards and I thought I heard him hit the deck waited 2 hours and went and found him right where I thought he was. Broadhead took out an artery and clipped the front of his heart. Someone was looking out for me today!!!

Congratulations Scot! You've just discovered one of the deadliest shot angles in bowhunting. I'm sure you did hear him hit the deck...lol!

They don't go very far when you plunk 'em like that...

Alsea,

Very little penetration. He threw the arrow out within 10 yards. Only about 6" off of my arrow. Shot one in the same exact stand last year that I lost. I was sweating it for those 2 hours. I thought I had just hit him in the shoulder blade and givin him a serious wound. Someone was watching out for me today!

Yip...that's a better shot from the ground, but there's a lot of vitals up front in the chest and if you don't get the vitals, they have a good chance at survival. Much better than a gut shot.

Anyway, good job! Backstraps! Yum, yum... :D

I spent all of yesterday hunting.  In the morning I sat the tree stand near the gut pile of Brent's elk , hoping a bear might be on it, no such luck.
   
For details on Brent's elk see the Classic Bowhunting thread.
Had shot opportunities at one doe, two fawns, and two forky bucks, but let them pass. Hope will be here in about a month and I am saving my last doe tag in that area for then.  I managed to shoot over a pheasant rooster at ten yards, in front of it at twenty five yards (hit a branch), and just under it at thirty five yards.  Dumbest rooster I ever seen or he just knew he didn’t have anything to worry about.  Miner birds were on the gut pile but nothing else so I moved across the valley to hunt an old ranch I hadn’t hunted in seven or eight years.  The ranch is in an area where there are now five doe tags available, but it is only open until Thanksgiving weekend.  So it will be closed before Hope is here.
Here is a picture of the doe I killed later in the day while still stalking
 http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y91/Slivershooter/Oler1st001.jpg  
Heart shot at twelve yards with hex pine shaft and 190 grain grizzly.  She was quartering away and turned as I released.  Arrow went in at the last rib and came out in front of the off shoulder.  She traveled fifty yards before falling over, breaking the arrow.  This is Pigger's (snakey Osage selfbow, 63# @ 29") second doe.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Trick or Treat and it was a treat from Wisconsin.


Last night  4:30.  Nice and bright out.   Grunt called it in from about 100 yards through the woods.  Actually I also had a fork horn come in from the opposite direction and I thought the little guy was gonna mess up the shot.  He didn't.   My second deer with a recurve.
And... I am off next week to hunt in Iowa.   Life is great.
