mY hunt was short. By 8 am I had seen roughly 30 antelope. The drought has dried up all the natural water sources and the only water anywhere comes from the ranch's water system. At 8 30 a doe was drinking a short 9 yards from me. I hadn't picked my bow up as i watched her come in alone. Suddenly a shadow approached from my right. Right away I knew it would be a buck since my bow was still sitting in the bow holder. Murphy's law! A great buck walked thru my shooting lane. After he passed the window and it was safe to move , I leaned to my left and retrieved the widow. Looking thru the crack in the door I saw a 2nd buck coming in from my left. When he stopped and put his head down, I waited until I could see his Adam apple bobbing. My shot was slightly high as I didn't account for the fact that i was below ground and was shooting at an upward angle. The arrow blew thru him and as he spun it fell out the off side. The big VPA 200 3 blade sliced the the major arteries running along the spine and as the speedster ran away I could actually see a red mist trailing behind him.
I lost sight of him at 150 yards but I knew he was down. After 15 minutes i got out of the can and walked in the direction he ran to find him just over the rise and 50 yards from where I lost sight of him
