Long time a coming!
« on: November 04, 2018, 02:30:00 PM »

Well MuzzleLoader Season started yesterday and my bud Nook went to the woods with our longbows and we both came home with a doe each.What a great day. I haven't taken a deer with my longbow in two seasons so this was to me a great day!
Nook and I both tag teamed a long ridge with the North wind in our favor.
After a little up hill hike I found a nice popular with good cover and decided to climb. Settled in around 3pm and saw deer at 4pm.Enjoying the breeze and the beautiful scenery from 15 feet up,leaves starting to let go and the vibrant colors higlighting the woods.
It was getting near 6 pm and to my right and behind me the woods came alive as bucks and does zipped past me at mach speeds.
The last two were does and stopped about 60 yards below me so just for the heck of it I hit my grunt tube hoping one of the bucks had stopped near the thicket and would get curious.
well to my surprise the two does came back up the ridge and got with in 30 yards,still curious the one decided to pass broadside at 18 yards,not wanting to spook her i took my shoot as she walked in front of me. My 58 inch Zipper Nitro armed with a 500 plus grain 500 fMJ and a Grizzly broadhead sent the arrow to the doe with authority. The arrow went higher than i would have hoped but broke the spine and well the rest of the story is in my cooler.Thanks Nook for a great day of memories.

I hear ya fellas, way to wade in deep amongst the primitive centerfire rifles and cross guns. Excellent fall hunt in the beautiful mountains of Virginia.

Way to go Danny and Jeff, a shared successful hunt!! Congrats to both of you.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
