Well...I did it
« on: December 09, 2010, 10:45:00 PM »
Killed a ten inch cedar tree!

Yep.  Hands down the biggest doe I have ever laid eyes on.. Coming in with two trailing her and stops where I had walkied into my stand and starts sniffing th ground.. Not alarmed,but stops  right behnd a cedar tree. I draw expecting her to walk on. She doesn't and I know she is gonna see me let down, so if I'm gettin busted lettin down might as well get busted shootin between two trees. It's a kill or miss shot.

I let go and miss the gap by 3/4 in burying my broadhead in the edge of a ten inch cedar.

No animals were harmed in the production of this hunt.

Did you get some good penetration on that cedar Robert?

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

A friend of mine killed one last season.

He said he was shooting at a small buck so I asked him why I was trying to pull out his broadhead which was at least as high up in the tree as my shoulder...lol

He admitted that it was a very tall deer...lol

The tree refused to give up his broadhead so it remains as a reminder to pick a spot and preferably on the deer.

God bless,Mudd

While missing a fox squirrel a few weeks ago,I embedded a Delta Zwickey into the very base of a 100+ yr.old white oak. I hope I haven't hastened the demise of that stately old tree....Phil

I blew the same "through the fork" shot a while back. My broad head is still in that tree 20 years later.

Thats all one can do is laugh about it and share with others.

I think I could of built a log cabin in my life the trees that I have harvested over the years.

Robert, good story, you should have cut the cedar tree, and aged it for Veneers on a new bow..

Use vice grips on the head just tight enough so you can jiggle it to pull if out.

I have too and I still do at least once a year it seems like. I dont even bother trying to dig them out anymore as it usually still bends them up....look at it as a sacrifice to the arrow gods....gets a bit pricey with abowyer whitetails.
