Finally came together after 9 years. My first bowkill buck. Friday before gun opener about 4pm. Came in on a beat chasing a doe on public land. First shot at 20 yards and missed completely under him.(BUCK FEVER). He ran out to about 30 yards broadside and stopped. He watched the doe mill around having no idea what just happened. Able to get second arrow off at 30 drilled him right in the shoulders. Not pass thru but only fletchings sticking out. Ran up the ridge about 40 yards and piled up. Thanks to the doe for getting his attention. Otherwise he would have been long gone.

Holy cow. That's one hell of a buck, Tengy. You deserve it! Bet that was a hell of a drag, too. Just the neck alone looks like it'll be a chore to lift.

Well I finally got my first deer with a bow. After 6 years of trying and sticking with it. it came together. I was hunting with 2 friends from school in newton hills state park South Dakota. My friend lives right next to the park. So we walked the horse trails a mile and a half back to the back of the park. we saw tons of deer sign and saw lots of deer too.

I was standing next to a tree that had a few trails and a huge rub by it. I had this guy walk right up behind me right before dark. He came from behind me and was about 40 yards. I shot and must have missed judged the distance and shot right over his back. I saw him bound of about 15 yards and I couldnt see him anymore. So I pulled out my can call and did a doe estrus bleat 3 times. I and listened to see if I could hear him. I didnt knock an arrow right away but I should have. About a minute later I heard something behind me and he was 30 yards away looking at me. So I reached down and knocked a arrow quick and drew back. He was still standing there so I let it fly. I hit him a little far back but I only heard him go a little ways. It ended up only going 20 yards. The rage did its job for me. It was a little button buck. I thought it was a nicer doe. But I am still pround of him being my first deer with a bow.
