Just got back from camp hunting with my buddy Mike. It was an awesome opening week. Mike took his first deer with traditional equipment at 63 years young. I set him up with my River Runner and he has been dilligent in his practice since April of this year and it paid off. He didn't get discouraged even after missing low on his first shot attempt. He took this fine doe at 10 yds. 48# Holm-Made River Runner, 28" GT 3555 100 gr brass insert and 150 gr. WW.
09/28 The landowner that we hunt on has an over abundance of smaller bucks with poor racks this year and said if we wanted we could cull some out, so I happily took this 5 pt. that had a large body. I took him at 14 yards with a 40# Black Swan Recurve, 30" GT 1535 with a 125 gr. WW. I also took a doe fawn that I did not get a pic of and missed a doe myself.
10/19 Tonight I was heading to the woods, I bumped 4 deer going in. I looked where they had come from and it was raining acorns. I thought to myself they weren't spooked and they will be back.
I climbed up a beech in the middle of the oaks and waited. An hour and ten minutes later I saw them cross back towards me about 100 yds. away. They fed out of sight behind me. Forty minutes later I looked behind to my right and here they came. A doe fawn came in first and offered no shot, the same with the BB, a shot but just out of range, the big doe stepped out at 23 yards and quartered away. The shaft entered the kidney and exited the heart. I am extatic to take her as I have come off a few misses this year which is not typical, I guess working on my form all morning paid off.
I took her with a 40# Black Swan, GT 1535, and a Helix broadhead.
10/29 Took this matriarch this evening. Same set-up as my last doe above.
