My first Buck
« on: October 06, 2007, 05:48:00 PM »
Well I got my first buck this morning. I was in my stand around 6am, everything was coming alive. It was nice & fogie as the deer walked in to my area. I could just make out the shape of a deer. He stayed around for a good 1/2hr.. When it was light enuff to see that the deer was a buck I got up & ready. At that time I saw He was a 3 pointer. I was watching him, and He gave me a great broadside shoot, I had to take it. He took off up the hill from me & ran about 60yards or so. I sat in my treestand for about 15 minutes, then I got down to look for blood...BTW I did hear he crash   :thumbsup:  

As at was looking & found the first signs of blood that got bigger every step I took.. I found my broken arrow that looked like a red shafted arrow, lots of blood.... As I was walking up the hill I saw he laying under my other treestand & 20yards from my groundblind...

This is my first buck with a trad bow & He is my trophy...   :archer:      :goldtooth:      :jumper:  
 
He may be small, But His BackStraps where great... I just wanted to shair this with my TradFamily...

P.S. Thanks to Terry's part on TRADGANG DVD... Your pointer worked great for me... Thanx Terry

Beautiful! Any deer with a bow is a trophy in my book. Well done!
 From the location of the wound on his side I'd say you made a perfect shot.Is that entry or exit that we can see in the pic?

Thats where the arrow entered... My Ash 60-65# 27"BOP Deer killer arrow Had a Magnus Snuffer 160grn 3-Blade took out both lunges & the Heart... The other side on the exit hole was nothing but a bloody hole...

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Looks like you are on a roll. First a doe and now a buck. You are definitely at the top of the cycle. Enjoy the ride. CK
