Not a big one......here's #2
« on: October 02, 2007, 12:22:46 pm »
I needed this one for my confidence!!   Got my first last year but with a gut shot. This one was a clean kill with a pass through right where I was looking.  Deer piled up in under 70 yards and easy blood trail.

 It was shot from a short tree stand on a fence row with an osage bow (48#@ 26") I made this summer and rose shoot arrows that I have worked on all summer tuning and 125 gr. Ace broadheads.

 This one and a doe were coming at me on a fence row but got real nervous as I think wind was blowing close  to there direction.  Gave the "Lil Can" deer call a turn over to make it's call and it really seemed to ease the deer. First time I had tried it but seemed to do the trick!!

  Now I feel the next one can be a bigger one!! ;)

Way to go, that's what it's all about. I'd be mighty happy to take one just like it. Looks like a lot of good meals and a lot of good memories.

I keep telling people to quit shooting the big ones, they taste like crap.  You did great.  Justin

This is my second this year and I said I was going to wait for a bigger deer... well it is, but just a little!!

Had a doe come in first and was probably at 12 yards but never presented a good shot and then walked away. This one was at about 10 yards and could not have given a better shot. Hit him in leg muscle but no bone and must have passed just above heart and got good lungs.

 Wife said she saw a big buck cross road at 10:30 this morning headed to one of my stands so maybe that one will be next. LOL

Only have antlered tags left and don't really want to buy anymore antlerless tags.
