I am lucky to have a place that is full of deer but you have to put the stands in just the right place or you will never get a shot with a primitive bow. This weekend was great tonight I got to see two bucks fight I was able stalk up to 80 yards. I got busted for the crazyest reason. I was stalking one buck when an other buck came in to the picture. They starting fighting and one buck lost an antler in the fight. The defeated deer ran and circled down wind and within 10mins I was busted.
iowabow:
The deer is on the left side of the picture. There are two bucks in the picture but I can't see the other one that is on the right. This was about 80 yards.
iowabow:
Here in Iowa we are having a heat wave. It is 80 degrees and really dry with no mosquito. So deer hunting is great. No shirt no mosquito and no cold toes. Thought I would post a picture from the stand. This is one of my favorite spots. There is a large hill behind me and creek in front and this spot creates a funnel that pinches the deer together as they come through. So just for the record the last shot was 21 and no deer yet. I am headed back out this morning.

Good luck John, I'm in a popup ground blind this morning. I'm hoping we both get shots.

I just can't pull it together guys missed three time this morning on 2 two deer one at 6 yards one at 15 and then 20. The first shot I can't blame on me alltogether see all was going well till I got within 4 inches of full draw that is when things got bad the deer suddenly stopped and sidestepped real fast just I was releasing the arrow and I was committed. The shock of missing a shot like that completly took me off my game for the next two shots. I can hunt but can't hit. This is going to come together one of these times. Well headed to the knapin at oakland mills. Good luck g. Well the count is 24 just for the record.
