A few days ago I posted about a new property my brother and I got access to. Well tonight this area paid off for me and Mike, my little brother.
A couple Christmases ago, I gave him the bow, an old Ben Pearson takedown. It's 45# at 28". I think Mike draws more like 29". This Fall, I made him the arrows, some GT Blems tipped with 190 Ribteks.
Around 5:00 he texted me that he shot a doe. I was happy but worried when he said he only had maybe a third of the arrow in the deer.
I hunted the rest of the night and actually had 2 shots at the same big old doe. I mmmmisssed both times. Yikes. My little brother showing me up
After dark, I met up with Mike. The landowner wanted to help with the tracking so we waited. When he arrived, he said he had seen a weird acting deer on the way in and he and Mike went up to see if they could find blood. That left me to blood trail. Thankfully it was a pretty easy job. Less than 75 yards from first blood, I found his deer. It was a button buck and he had hammered him in both lungs. It's his first bow kill, and with a recurve, no less. I am very proud and happy.
