Fresh venison for the table. Not a huge doe but a good sized eater shot at 15 yds Saturday evening. Good double lung hit and clean kill with a 4 blade Muzzy. Saw a nice 8 point both Saturday morning and Sunday evening but couldn't get him any closer than 50 yds. You gotta love the challenges of archery huntng. Congrats to all others scoring.

Went out yesterday all day and no deer til the last hour between me and my buddy who is sitting 70 tards from me we had nine bucks and 16 does running around crazy for 1 hour of last light and there were 2 mid 140 to mid 150 inch bucks in there and I had this goofy racked 7 pointer that we had seen a few times this year. He was hot on the trail of one of the does and I hit the buck growl and he stopped and came right over to me and gave me a qaurtering to me shot at 25 yards and the shot was perfect I took out the juggler both lungs and the top of the heart and he still went 60 yards he had a 17" spead and 11" G2's and a rough score of 132" for a 7 pointer. He was a great call buck, but I still can't believe he made it 60 yards. I have never being able to pull a buck away from a hot doe that buck growler call did just that.

Saturday morning I shot a decent buck. At about 7:30 I rattled in a nice 8 pointer, he never gave me a good shot and I passed after drawing back on him 3 different times. I noticed that he was heading down the bluff and he stayed roughly 30 yards from me in the brush. After he got below me I saw him go past, I waited 10 min thinking that this buck was trying to circle downwind, after 10 I hit the rattlebag and grunt call. He came in on a trot 3 minutes later and I missed due to a very small cedar branch. Bummer. Anyway, 10 min later, I saw a deer behind a tree line in a meadow probably 50 yards away down the hill. I hit the grunt call and got nothing, but I could still see the deers legs standing behind a cedar tree. I quickly pulled out the can and hit it 6 times real quick. A fork horn and what looked like a decent 6 came running up at me. I was thinkin about shooting the fork when I saw that this guy seemed to have bad genetics. I notice the bad antler on the left side. I quickly switched positions and shot him behind the rib cage quartering away.

I waited, couldn't find my arrow, and only heard him run for about 30 yards. I figured he hit the meadow or the hill road and was running to the other side of the bluff. I looked with my father in law for over 3 hours for the deer and we couldn't find much blood or the trail. My father in law was sitting on the other side of the meadow and probably would have seen the deer if he went across it. Long story short, we checked the meadow as a last resort. The deer ran down the bluff, then did a uturn and went straight back up the bluff for 50 yards and died. All and all, he was only 75 yards from where I shot it. My father in law then shot an 8 pointer that night with his gun, it was a great opening day, we saw lots of small bucks and one nice one. The deer dressed out at 170lbs. He was grey in the face and had been fighting, I figured maybe on his way down, he had a nice spread but was much younger than I thought he would be. Do you think he ever would have made a nice 8? Or do sixes usually stay sixes?

Hear are the pics of my in laws and mine after we skinned them. It's always more fun to be in the woods with somebody, hunters really do get excited for each other.

Hopefully this works, This is a buck I shot Wednesday Evening in the 70 degree heat. Biggest bow kill to date. 19 inch inside spread and weighed 215 lbs!

Ok, Obviously I have no clue how to post an image. Can I email this image to someone?

Nice Buck!

I have helped do my part in herd managment this year by harvesting four mature does. They all went less than a hundred yards also so they were easy recoveries. That makes 13 for bow. I have been hunting since three with my dad and am hooked big time, and I get as excited as when I saw my dad shoot a deer for the first time as I do when I shoot one now at 16.
