I can say I started the day off hunting with my buddy and fellow trad ganger Notso,  The morning was cold with no deer seen and the wind would not cooperate.  So, I went for  a short walk.  I got real lucky and walked up on a very nice 10 pointer.  However, at 27 yards or so, the jig was up and he was off.

The evening hunt was real windy.  I saw lots of turkeys and watched them roost.  Then just before dusk a coyote trotted in and got to within 8 yards, but I had no shot.  Then as he trotted off, I squeaked him to a stop just under a brush pile at 14 yards.  My arrow looked good, but was deflected by an unseen branch and the arrow flew up and off its mark.  

Then right at quitting time a deer ran by me with another coming behind.

I'm guessing that you got another crack at that 10 pointer......    

That looks like ten-pointer blood to me! Yep, I would recognize ten-pointer blood anywhere.

Definitely 10 pointer blood... No doubt

Haha! "Ten pointer blood" - I love that!

So a deer showed up right at Quitting time. The deer was a 8 yards, and I was on the ground, but had no shot.  I waited and eventually the deer walked to the exact spot I missed the Coyote just a half hour before.  I was using the arrows my nephews from California helped me to make.

 

( the black squiggly lines are flames ... " to make the arrow faster Uncle Bob".

I shot and saw the arrow disappear.  There was a loud crack and the deer ran off ... I heard the deer crash within 10 seconds.  After my daughter helped me track the deer ... I saw no hole in either side of the deer!

My arrow must have deflected on the exact same limb as the coyote shot.  The arrow hit the brisket UNDER both legs and took out the heart and one lung.  I can not believe my arrow got in there, I was sitting on the ground, the deer was broad side, yet I hit it under the body!

 

 

So I guess it is better to be lucky than good.  I used the arrows my nephews made and still retrieved the deer even with a very unusual shot.

Sorry guys it is not a 10 point.  This is the doe who has busted me for 3 weeks now.

 

Thanks for looking guys.

Bob.

     Congrats on your hunt and success.

[Gen273]

Way to go, Congrats!

[Pete McMiller]

Congrats Bob.  I guess she won't be busting you again.  I've always said "it's better to be lucky than good..........it's a lot more consistent"        Good job.

Very nice doe!    

[Mike Vines]

Buck or doe, does not matter.  You have meat in the freezer and it was done with traditional gear while sitting on the ground.  That's 10 points in my book.
