First Trad Deer!!!
« on: September 23, 2012, 08:43:00 PM »
Tonight was my 4th night hunting with my WARF recurve.  I have not touched my compund since April so this year was 100% trad for me.  I shot a lot this summer and got some Snuffers from Keith Karr.  Last night I had 4 does and 2 fawns at 25 yards but they did not come my way.  Tonight I was in my stand 4 minutes and saw a doe and fawn coming.  I did not have an arrow nocked or my shooting glove on.  All I had time to do was nock an arrow and spin my hat around.  The doe stopped at 16 yards and gave me a shot.  At the shot I knew it was high but after she could not make it up the steep hill from the creek I knew I was in business.  She got her footing and ran about 70 yards.  I gave her a few minutes and with a little bit of work was able to find her.  The high hit got both lungs but she did not bleed out a lot.  To say I was pumped is an understatement.  That was the first animal I have ever drawn back on and it was great to shoot and not have to worry about peeps and pins.  Just pick a spot and let it fly.  Thanks to everyone here for the help and time.  After 3 years of shooting a trad bow, I am happy I had it with me tonight.

Congrats!!!! Good stuff!!!

Some of those high hits catch the big veins that carry blood to the back half of the deer... Not much blood, till you open the cavity and then...
