Finally!
« on: November 04, 2010, 08:14:00 PM »
This is my third year hunting with trad gear. First year I missed a nice buck when the string caught on the sleeve of my ghillie suit. Last year I was nursing a bad back and didn't get a shot. But election day things came together. that morning I was in my stand on my brother's property. I said to myself, the first good shot I get I'm taking it (other than a fawn).  I saw 5 does early, but no shot. Later about 9:30am, I looked up the hill and watched 4 fawns walk around the point. I wondered where the older does were. About that time I heard something to my left, a larger doe. She made her way to just above me at about 10yrds. I pulled,anchored and when the feather touched my nose. The next thing I remember was seeing the hair fluff on her side, I've always heard about that.  ;)  I watched her go down about 40yrds from my stand.  Well hear are the results.
 
 
Man it was like getting my first deer with a bow all over agian. This trad stuff is great!
