NC Buck with 1970's Mercury Hunter
« on: November 03, 2015, 07:44:00 PM »
Took my best archery buck to date three weeks ago. He came in with the oldest buck I've ever seen.  He had to be 4.5-5.5 years old or older.  The older buck never settled and eventually walked off.  I was able to draw and shoot his partner here at 7 yards.  He ran about 75 and crashed.  I used a 62" Ben Pearson Mercury Hunter 63#@28 and 2216's with a 190gr Ribtek that I bought from Biathlonman in the sponsor classifieds mounted on a steel 100gr insert.  Total arrow weight 690gr. The Ribteks sharpen really well, are HUGE and worked perfectly.

Great shot on a good buck with a classic-like how you got it done.

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
