Michigan Whitetails
« on: November 17, 2011, 04:29:00 PM »
It has been a good Michigan whitetail season for me, probably my best.

October 22, 54# Talltines, 3555 GT Trad, 200 grain VPA, 18 yard shot.  I had changed into tracking clothes because I knew I hit shoulder, but she only went 100 yards.
 

November 12, 53# Silvertip, 3555 GT Trad, 200 grain VPA.  Rattled the buck in from over 300 yards and let him go by me for a 6 yard quartering shot.  Entered near the last rib and came out in the opposite pit.  100 yards and he was down in sight.  The doe came in with 3 friends 20 minutes later.  10 yard broadside shot and down in 20 yards.
 

November 13, 54# Talltines, autumn orange 1918, Wensel Woodsman.  12 yard shot and down in 75 yards.
 

Probably won't get out again until the December hunts, but that is just fine!

Congratulations Dave - love the Michigan success stories.  Those look like some good size does - did you weigh any of them?  Where are you hunting?

Thanks guys.  

Bobby, these are Calhoun County.  I have a good scale in camp, but I haven't put up a buck pole to hang deer yet so they didn't get weighed.  They were good sized, but there a bigger ones around that we see regularly, usually with nostrils flaring and looking up into the trees!

Well Done! You're shooting a couple fine bows there too, how do you choose before a hunt which one gets the call?
