God granted my prayers
« on: February 05, 2012, 09:46:00 PM »
Got into the woods a little later than I wanted to. Left the tree stand in my truck, and just brought my $4 foam pad. So I sat behind a beech tree, that I sat behind the night before. I shuffled around a lot trying to get comfortable and make sure I had clearance to draw and move. I was unsure of where I was sitting but stuck with it. Then I began to think of all the things going on in my life. So I began to pray and thank god for all the things in my life and that if he could see to having a deer come in front of me and guide my arrow to it. Within seconds my prayers were answered. I heard something far off to my right and then I saw movement. One deer. Two deer. Three deer. They came down from a wooded patch into the gulley. I watched the lead deer come in pretty fast and I prepared for the shot. The lead deer was almost in my shooting lane and stop about a foot short, then the second deer came to the same spot and pounced forward like a cat after it's toy mouse. I almost laughed. It stopped where it landed and went to get a snack from the ground and I drew back the bow and next thing I can remember is watching the lazer nock lit up flying towards the deer. I saw it hit it right in the lungs and it jolted, then took of on a dead sprint. It ran up the gully got about 60yrds in 6 seconds and rolled. I instantly started to cry and thanked the lord for the gift he gave me. It had been since nov 2008 since I shot my last deer and my first trad deer. I need to thank my friend Luke Shaw for allowing me to stay at his house, hunt his property, and for being a great friend. And most importantly God and my loving and supporting family.

I used a 51# Tree prickly ash longbow that was won at the Great Ohio Rabbit Hunt. Beman ICS Bowhunter 300 with 30%foc 100gr brass insert 125gr broadhead adapter 165gr ace broadhead and 35gr footing carbon express lazer nock 730gr total weight. KOM AND SLEEPING INDIAN CLOTHES ARE AWESOME.

Very nice.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Outstanding, man, Congratulations!  Thanks for sharing.  Didn't realize you Ohio guys were so blessed to still have deer season open.
