Then killed this good doe (looks like a camel) on Oct. 9 from about 8 yards.  Got it on self-video.  Previous buck was a double-lunger.  This one was a heartshot.

Third NE deer was a doe taken Oct. 18 using a bow given me by a fellow Husker who's encountering some health issues.  The bow is a 'Hat Creek' No Bull longbow made by Dennis Schuler.  I took this doe at 8 yards, double-lunging her and the broadhead BROKE the offside leg.  Just shattered it.  I was impressed.  The bow has bullsnake skins on it from a hunt that the bowyer drew a cow-only tag (hence 'No Bull').  The bowmaker appreciated the gesture and this doe meant a lot to me too.

And finally, on Nov. 12 in IA, I was fortunate to kill this big old 4x4.  Cool story I don't have time to share the whole thing right now, but I ended up with a 28 yard shot that took out kidney, liver and one lung.  Buck went 100 yards and belly-up.  So far, it's been a great season and I'm thankful for the lucky I've had thus far.  It looks like a whole bunch of the rest of you have had a great year too.

In answer to Whip's question, I'm maybe 5-10 and 180ish.  Used to be 5-10 and 130# when a serious runner but those days are long ago...

Thanks for the kind words.  This IA buck was a pretty cool deal.  He was following a doe and the doe came to about 20 yds. and would likely come under me.  He stopped and did the overhead branch routine at 25 yds.  I figured he'd come the rest of the way so held off (for me, anything over 18-20 yds. depends on how I'm feeling; most of my deer are killed under 15 yds.).  Well, suddenly he loses interest in this lady and starts in the opposite direction toward another one.  I grunted and eventually got him to turn and come back, offering a 28-yd. quartering away shot as he paused at a fence and considered his next move.  I want to be clear that the shot was not in 'panic' or 'desperation' mode.  Instead, I drew once, settled in and it felt awesome.  I let off, suddenly felt very calm and did it again, this time releasing a great arrow which did its job.  

Headed to the upper reaches of the Niobrara River in NE over Thanksgiving to see what I can find.

Wary Buck, are you the guy who wrote a piece in TBM about Sitka black-tails recently? If so, I loved it. Especially since I was headed up there soon. I went during the rut, it was cold but the hunting was great. Got two bucks and two foxes.
Here's the turkey that started off my 2006 hunting in a good way. It was my first archery turkey. Used a Fox recurve, cedar shaft and Simmons Shark 125.

My pictures disappeared from this thread also.  What's happening guys? I'm new to Tradgang and using a Mac. I posted photos on Photobucket, then successfully included them in some posts here. They were here for two days then disappeared! What the heck have I done wrong?

Nice couple of photos Glenn , Brown just plain old brown , makes you wonder why we all spend so much money and effort on disappearing doesnt it ?

In the last year or so I have hunted a lot in that Natural Gear , its kinda drab , its patterns arnt over the top , but GEEEZ its worked well for me.

They say Grey is the way !! there is more grey in nature than any other hue or colour , My hair must have been listening.
