Garden Buck II
« on: October 11, 2009, 01:20:00 PM »
Last year I set my ground blind up in our garden that has 8 apple trees beside it and shot a nice ten point. So if it aint broke dont fix it. This morning I got to my blind (50 yards behind the house) at about 6:15. As I got to it I heard two bucks sparing in the field behind the apple trees. I got into my blind and was there about 10 min when a small buck walked through. Soon after another small 8 point stopped in front of my blind and began eating apples, he fed to within 3 feet of my blind and turned and walked away. At a little after 7 I looked out the side window that I leave open just enough to see through, and saw antlers,looked like a nice rack and I decided to shoot if I got the chance. The buck walked in front of the blind and stopped to eat an apple. I shot him at 18 yards. The arrow went through the liver and nicked the far side lung. I knew I had a good hit so got out of the blind and walked back to an open field to see if I could see him laying out there no luck. So I decided to go back to where I shot him and look for blood. As I was walking back I saw antlers sticking up out of the hay field. I had walked 15 yards from him but was looking farther out. He only ran 60 yards befor falling. Never made it out off my property. I cant post pics but 4runner has offered to post them for me.I shot him with a 70"s model kodiak mag 52" 50@28  and cedar arrows with a 2 blade zwickey Eskimo.

Sorry Jim, too much happening right now. I got your pics, but in the format they are in I can't load them onto photobucket. Can you take them from the Kodak gallery and put them into your "my pictures" folder, then email them to me as an attachment?

It sounds like you have an excellent spot back there.  And only 50 yards from your house?  That's the kind of stand I'd love to have.  I have a blind set up about 250 yards from my house, but have to work around the corn field and down a fence line to get to it.

Sounds like a sweet spot.  Nice job.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

You're right there! Being able to hunt out your back door is a blessing I pray I never lose.

Congrats on your buck!

Heck of a nice buck Jim!

Sorry I couldn't do any better with the other two pics. I treated them the same as the big one, and when I go to edit them on photobucket they distort badly.
