MN buck from last week
« on: November 05, 2015, 05:07:00 PM »
Good afternoon all.  Here is the buck I shot from last week:

   
 
I shot a deer Thursday Oct. 29th, 2015 @ 8a.m.  I Had my 2 dimensional decoy out and it did not like it and it swung by my stand at 12 yards broadside.  I hit it and got a pass through, but only hit one lung and had minimal blood.  I ended up tracking it for about a 1/2 mile and was going on instinct and stressed steps here and there.  This was my second most difficult tracking job, and I almost gave up, but something in my gut told me to keep looking.  I went through many highs and lows and second guesses of shot.  It took me 3 hours of tracking.  I am glad I got a deer and his body is nice and long, certainly not a jumbo buck, but he will taste mighty fine.

My bow is a HolmMade Riverrunner Recurve.
Here are a few things about me:

I enjoy Hunting, fishing, raising goats, biking and kayaking. Love living life with my wife and 4 kids out in the country.

Here are my bows and such:
~ Black Widow Bows 66" PLX Longbow 47.5@31"  161fps with 600gr arrow
~ St. Patrick Lake Longbows (SwiftStyk ~ 64" (50#@31" = 161fps 600gr arrow)
~ Hitman Traditional Stykbows #1 (Recurve) (63" 52lb @31") ~
