I have posted this picture so many times people are probably tired of it.

8 point, my biggest buck to date, out of a natural material ground blind placed in a funnel in a tight, steep sided hollow.

7 yard shot with an osage selfbow I made, chundo arrow with Zwicky delta head, 100 yard recovery.

I have about quit climbing trees. It is so much more satisfying to chase them on their own turf.

Just killed a nice fat doe this evening, from the ground, natural hide, 6 paces.

Double lung pass thru, she ran about 80 yards and was down in less than 10 seconds,  Heard her go down.

Pics later, I am tired.

I learned on the drag out. .  I am getting old.

Having some issues getting the picture downloaded.  The one on the camera turned out blurry.  The one on the cell phone turned out nice, but I have no idea how to download from that.

I have hunted this area a bunch over the years.  A public land spot, much of the property is seasonal marsh.  I like the marsh, mainly cause nobody else seems to.

This spot is a meadow of probably ten acres, surrounded by wetter areas.  The meadow is filled with nettles maybe 5-6 feet tall.  The deer seem to love it.  

At one corner, there is a funnel, where they tend to come out, cross over a dam ( drainage ditch runs the length of this and more property) and into the uplands, full of acorns and hickory trees.

I got in the stand early, about 4 oclock.  The stand was essentially a nest in the tall grass, next to a small almost dead tree on my left.  In front of me, maybe 6 feet or so, is a small tree that blew down several years ago, no leaves, but it tends to hold the grass that grows thru it upright.  Front wall of my blind !

It is very thick, and trails change a bit each year, but this year, the main trail runs from north to south about 6 paces in front (west) of me, another trail, running thru a wet alley of sorts runs about ten yards behind me.

A few days ago, I had a buck walking this same trail, but cut across to the alley about 40 yards away, and the squirrely wind gave me away.

Last night, the wind held OK and at 25 minutes before the end of the day, here comes this doe and a large fawn.  Doe in the lead.  

I started to draw (Hill style bow I built, with heavy duty velcro rug) and she actually heard the rubbing of the wood arrow on the rug and stopped, earls like radars.  Maybe 7 paces away.  

She took a few more steps, stopped broadside and looked around.  Going thru my mind. . .  dang it, you're TOO close.  Then she turned her head to look over the field and away from me.

I made the shot, high double lung and a pass thru of the arrow.  She turned and ran about 80 yards, into the thick stuff, where I heard her fall and thrash a moment,  That was it, no more than 6-7 seconds and she was done.

Trail was pretty easy, drag was not, coming out of the marsh in the dark.

This doe in 2008.

   

She was probably the biggest doe I've ever killed.

Nice job. .

I guess this post, like the original Pope and Young club, shows that it can be done, it isn't a fluke.

So the challenge to you is. . .  try it, learn it. . do it !

Have a great hunt
ChuckC
