Nice job Scott! I realy like the way the Widow boy's shaved down your riser! Sweet bow you got there, and it's a killer 4 sure!

[Onestringer]

Nice Buck Ryan.  I hope I get a crack at one like that.

I wish the Widow boys liked my shaved riser as much as you and I do.  I get crap about it all the time.

Headed out tomorrow am for my first outing of the year hoping to end the six year drought!

so far it's been a season of just a few more steps. I've had deer and turkey less than ten yards aways but either straight at me or in cover, never any shots. Might go out this weekend though.

I have only been one other time since I shot the last doe, and about 15 minutes in I was wishing I was home on the couch.  Had a little dental emergency over the weekend last weekend.  Short story is I have two fewer teeth.  Don't get your hopes up it not the front teeth.  Lower back teeth.  Not I get to spend my 2011 hunting money on implants.  

On Sunday I did have a spike at 15 yards broad side and let him walk, that a big improvement for me.  I had a skip at 30, I could have shot, but I thought it would come closer and I could not tell if it was button buck or not.  What I am leaving out is I was hunting a friend place who wants some does thinned, which means bucks are off limits.  If I would have been in my home spot my buck tag would have been filled on a spike and would not have been disappointed at all.

finally!   got one, a medium sized doe.  i shot at one friday eve. but my lower limb hit my treestand and cracked my bow through the rest front to back, so i had to grab my kodiak mag, and use it till i can find another saxon american recurve @60#  , but i kinda like the short mag,
the shot i missed was about 15 yds. and i came up short with the zwicky no-mercy hitting rock and threw  sparks about ten feet high, i dont know who was more freeked me or the buck, thanks for readin and good luck yall.    p.s. il tack up a pic. if i can ever figure out how to.....

Way to go guys. I went out last evening after work. I bumped a deer about 50yds behind the shop. Got to my spot and sat the rest of the evening and saw squirrels. I am sitting on the ground most of the time this year. Just backed up against a tree with a little bit of stuff around to kind of break me up. I feel a lot more relaxed this way.

 this is the doe i got last sunday mornning   pics not so good with phone camera.

These two came in this morning. I kept thinking that one was a small 8 but couldn't be positive so he got to walk.

 

God bless,Mudd

Well, I confess I was feeling kinda pouty as we'd been very busy and I'd not even been hunting 3 weeks into the season.  Thursday evening I cleared a hole and off we went.  Arrived to find my son's stand had been stolen, so that was a set back but I told him you never know what can happen.  We threw up another stand and pushed through it.  I was on stand late as a result but it turns out it didn't matter, 30 minutes later this doe presented a shot and I had my first deer of 2010!      

It was dark and nasty thick with the leaves not down yet so I left retrieval to Friday morning.

Here's a pic of the doe with my "Track, recover and drag" team.  Love to get the kid's involved!    :D

Here I am with the deer, pic courtesy of the track and drag team.  

 

For those interested in tackle, she was taken with my Firefly FS longbow 57# @ 28", a Surewood shaft and Snuffer 250 glue on (125 on a Woody Weight) total arrow weight 730 grains.

I was looking at that Widow trying to figure out why the riser was different or what model it was.  

I like it!  I take it the boys at BW don't?

Good shooting on a couple of big does!

[2treks]

Nice job on the deer folks. I may be coming down at the end of the mounth or into Nov. I have been 4 times but missed last year.
How do you like the woodyweights Tim.
