Opening Day in Georgia-another one for Chris
« on: September 14, 2011, 10:55:00 PM »
This hunt actually started with this years St Judes auction.  i was able to win one of the VPA terminators that KentuckyTJ had up for auction to honor Chris Surtees memory.
i took it in my quiver a few times this summer hog hunting, but the opportunity to use it never presented itself. Deer season opened this past Saturday, and my best hunting buddy (Clyde Musick) and i were able to get together and hunt all weekend.
Saturday morning was pretty uneventful.  Clyde saw some does, but wasn't able to get a shot. All i saw was a bunch of squirrels.

We probably got on the stand a little early Saturday, but we were both excited about the first day of deer season.  It got warm in a hurry, but luckily i didn't have to fire up the thermacell.
Clyde texted me about an hour before dark and said he had shot a doe and watched her go down.  That got me even more excited about the possibility of seeing a deer before dark.
About 5 minutes before dark, i decided to climb down and go help Clyde with his deer.
i had just taken my pack down and sat it on my seat when i heard footsteps crunching thru the leaves.
i glanced over my shoulder, and there were two mature does coming down the trail next to my stand. i was able to slowly turn around and get my bow in my hand without spooking them.
Right at last shooting light one of the does finally offered me a shot which i promptly took!
The doe took off on a death run that ended after about 75 yards.
Thanks for the mojo Chris....    :)

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Awesome stuff Randy. I have been waiting and wondering who out of the 13 would make the first kill with Chris' broadheads. Congrats brother this is good stuff.
