I have been hunting a certain buck on my little ranch (Kicking Rock Ranch) really hard for the last couple weeks. I had a bunch of trail cam pics of him, but just did not fully appreciate him till I saw him in person. The first day I saw him, I decided he was the one I wanted for this year. I also told my wife that I would be hunting every day in October till I got a crack at him. Here is a pic of him:
Well, I’ve seen him several times, and we’ve played cat-n-mouse every time. So far, he has won out.
It’s been wearing me out too, and I haven’t seen him in about 4 days! Yesterday, I decided the heck with it, I’m gonna shoot the first doe that gives me a chance. I just switched arrows, and went to 2” 4-fletch, and was itching to try them out on a critter.
Anyway, this afternoon, a nice doe gave me the opportunity I was after. She turned a little quartering away at about 12yds. I got to anchor, and let it fly. I didn’t see the arrow hit, but she tore out of there and I watched her topple over dead about 35yds from where I shot her.
The shot was near perfect!

I waited till after dark and took my dog Zeke down there to find her. He covered it and was on her in about 2 seconds. Not much of a challenge, but I try to put him on every real critter I can!!!
I shot her with my new Primal Tech takedown longbow, .400 spine Widowmaker Smash arrows with 4-2” feathers, and a 150gr German Kinetic Silverflame XL broadhead!
