2nd day VA deer
« on: October 04, 2010, 09:31:00 PM »
I was lucky enough to make it out to our property this weekend with my Dad and my good buddy Brad who just recently started bowhunting with a recurve. Saturday was EXTREMELY eventful. I saw 15 deer from my stand (7 in the morning, 8 in the evening). In the morning a doe came trotting in at 20 yards and I shot over her back  :banghead:  Luckily, neither of them saw us and the first and smaller buck gave me the better shot, and Im not one to pass up a good shot. I was hoping Brad would take the shot but he froze up pretty bad so the next thing I know I see my arrow in the deer and it sprang off. I ended up hitting a little far back taking out the liver and one lung and it only ran around 100 yards.
 
Heres me and Brad where it fell.
 
This is where the buck was when I shot him.

Field dressed he was 97 pounds (theres a crazy amount of acorns on the ground). I took him with a Bighorn recurve 65@30 and a home-made cedar arrow tipped with a Magnus I 160 grain. He left a great blood trail all the way to him.
