I went to a small patch of ground I have leased next to the ranch I am working at. It’s small, only about 50ac. But there’s some decent seer in the area. Anyway, got in a blind this morning well before daylight. Daylight came, and I saw a couple small bucks and does. A little after 8, this guy stepped out. After first glance at those long tines, I knew I was gonna shoot if I got a chance!!!
A few minutes later, the chance presented itself, and I took full advantage. The shot was about 10yds, and picture perfect. I got a complete passthru, and he made a mad dash. I watched him topple over thru the trees about 60yds out.
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I misjudged his antlers and there was some ground shrinkage. Even though he’s not as big as I thought, he’s still a great buck, and I couldn’t be happier!!
I shot this buck with my newest Primal Tech recurve (50#@29”), .400 spine D&M Custom Arrows Easton Axis FMJ, and a 150gr German Kinetic XL broadhead.
