Hey Guys,
I got my first buck w/a bow this weekend…I was
sitting in my stand for about 2.5 hours freezing, so i decided to hang my bow up on the side of the tree..(thinking i could grab it nice and slow if i saw a deer approach). While i was trying to stay warm and watching the squirrels run around…i saw some bigger movement down the hill from me…before i knew it, a nice 8ptr had run under my stand at about mach 10. it happened so fast i didn’t even have time to grab my bow… I yelled at him, but he didn’t stop…So there I was, bow in hand (late) dumbfounded about what had just happened….BUT there was another deer coming up the hill as well..He had stopped when i yelled and was slowling walking towards my stand…Smaller buck, but i was going to take my chances on him anyway…He got to about 12 yards and i let the arrow fly… He “bucked” and ran up the hill and dropped…I was so pumped up!!! Granted a bigger deer had gone by, but my first buck w/ bow and i was excited.
5pt’r…
