2010 Buck
« on: November 11, 2010, 12:23:00 AM »
This is my 2010 buck (we only get one in Montana).  He was chasing a doe and came by my stand at fifteen yards, I missed shooting over his back.  Two minutes later he came back following the same doe at ten yards and I double lunged him.  It was an easy recovery, he went a total fifty yards after being hit, out thirty and then came back twenty, falling twenty yards from my stand.  He was a fighter.  On the left side: the G-2 was completely busted off,  was missing an inch on the G-3, and half inch on the G-4.  On the right side the G-4 was missing a couple of inches.  He had been skewered behind the right eye, behind the right jaw, and on both sides of the neck.  

I used Max, my 58# osage selfbow, 29 1/2" AD Trad Lites, and 220 grain four blade Muzzy Phantoms.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Beautiful buck, Walt.  I guess your story is proof that a miss doesn't necessarily mean the end of the encounter!  Congratulations on following through, and on a fine selfbow trophy!!

No kidding, I was hunting in 65 degrees yesterday and was trying to keep out of the sun while on stand!

Congrats Walt, great buck, story, and pics! Seems like the best hunts always have a bit of drama to them.

Hunting and taking a deer in the snow has always been a great experience.

Great job and thanks for including me on the hunt.

Great deer Walt! Way to buckle down on the second chance.

Usually I can stay kind of in control until I take a shot. But then my body falls apart and I turn into a quivering mess.  I would have probably been shaking so bad I don't know if I could get a second arrow on the string.

Congratulations!
