Late season doe
« on: January 08, 2012, 02:30:00 PM »
I was finally able to be in the right place at the right time.  I moved this year and am hunting all new ground, all public land that is pretty hard hit.  Seems like I have been behind the 8 ball for quite a while now and frustration was getting pretty high.  I decided I would go out and sit a new stand that I had hung a couple days ago.  Figured to sit a couple hours and get back for church, note to self, can't kill a deer, retrieve it and make church in the same morning.    :nono:     I had only been in the stand for 30 minutes when I hear a deer running in from behind me.  Ended up being three of them and they got by me without offering a shot I was willing to take.  Dang, bad luck is still with me.  Oh, wait a minute, I hear another one coming.  She runs in and stops in an opening.  Pick my spot and see the arrow streak thru her, I'm thinking a little low, heart shot.  She runs off and I see her go down.  Sweetness.  Shot her with my new Centaur, glass model, 60" 44@28, CE Heritage 150's, 29 1/2", STOS 160 mounted on a 100 grain insert, total arrow weight is 600 grains.  Had a complete pass thru and the shot was 22 yards broadside.

   

Did the best I could on these self portraits.  This one shows the entry hole, it was a low heart shot.

   

Here she is ready to roll on my traditional ATV.  These deer carts are worth their weight in gold.  It's a walk-in area and I'm a good stretch from the pickup.

Congratulations Crash! That is some fine dining right there. I agree, those carts make it a breeze to get deer out, espesially going over downed tree limbs. Great job.

Thanks guys.  Bob, hurry and get here, she's on ice so you have time to make it.  We can shoot that 66" Osprey.

Congrats!!  Great shot!  I agree on the carts.  I never seem to find spots close to where I can park.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
