Short bow and Wide Buck.....
« on: December 10, 2015, 05:22:00 PM »
Been messing around with a little 48in Bear SuperMag and it has proven to be a good shooter. Had one buck tag left and put it to good use this morning on my place. He is the first deer I have shot at on the property and this is our second year of owning it. I am plenty happy to have him , a hot doe is what put him at 15yds quartered away. The shot was good and he only made it about 65yds and went down in sight. I think the little bow is a winner.....

Have a few doe tags left now and always a stray hog might show it's self.....

Hey congrats! The short bears shoot great!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

What a season for you Sam!!!!  Congrats!  That's what a "Texas Buck" is supposed to look like in my opinion.  

Beautiful deer and wicked bow.  What's your usual draw length?  Did you have to change anything to shoot that short of a bow?

I've noticed that when you put a Bear bow in your hands -- some wildlife is in trouble!!!!

I very seldom put a tape measure on an animal but I had to know. He is 19 3/4 inside spread maybe a tad more but not that magic 20 inch. I am plenty happy with him , he is my widest buck and shot with the shortest bow I have ever shot with. And it just topped it off that I shot him on my own land , great day. It's been a awesome year for me , I just love hunting with my bows and arrows.....

Sweet buck for sure! Those Texas bucks look cool for an Iowan... Definitely different from our Midwestern  bucks. Well done & congrats!   :thumbsup:
