Good on ya - enjoy seeing you home boys take deer - I know how hard it can be in NH and Maine to get a shot/chance.

Thanks, guys. Here's some more of the story...The stand has been my most productive over the years...8 deer in 8 years! But, it usually isn't active enough to hunt until the firearm guys push them into the "hell hole" swamp. The stand is within rock throwing distance of 3 houses and since it was a weekend night most of the homeowners are doing yard work until it gets dark. That's why Laura was not there.
I put her there the next evening and four bear show up! A sow with 3 cubs so no shooting possibilities for her. They were feeding on acorns and the gutpile. I sat there again last night and nothing showed. I had a dentist appt. this AM so stopped by to see what sign had been left since the night before...the bear had obviously been back eating acorns. There was bear scat under one of the producing oaks.
Laura's reaction to the stand? Well, I have proposed a plan whereby we devise a system to determine who gets to hunt it first. When an animal is killed it is then relinquished to the other spouse. Sounds fair to me. Laura is considering it. I vowed long ago never to let my bestest of friends use my treestands because they always seem to take over. Well, guess what ? Now I have a REAL problem!

I'll try and post the pic that Razorbak is referring to. It is a heart breaker (pun intended).

Hope this does not gross anyone out.
By the way, I shot the deer with my DAS Kinetics bow, 58", 60# @ 28", 29" Beman Max 4 340 arrow, 100 grain brass inserts, Phantom 125 head and lumenoks to show me the way. Can't say enough good things about this bow. Absolutely the best hunting bow I have ever shot.

Charlie, I used to do really well on my second shot at most 3d shoots so I would usually just take arrow #1 and throw it to the ground before taking my "second" shot. I was fortunate on two counts when the arrow fell.One was that it did not hit the metal platform of the stand and secondly it was carbon not aluminum as I am sure it would have spooked him if it had been aluminum. The shaft actually bounced off of an exposed root.

Great shot and enjoyed the story, nothing wrong with the picture unless someone doesn't accept our realities of the hunt. Nice Buck!
