Deer hunting update.
Ryano:
Thanks guys. ;D I'd say he's a 2 1/2 year old deer, weighed about 150 pounds Field dressed thats pretty common around here. The bigest buck that Ive killed up here weighed about 200 pounds field dressed. Now he was a big deer. I shot him with my 50 cal flintlock a few years ago. ;D
Pat B:
That is a big bodied deer. 150# field dressed is a big deer for us. I've hardly hunted and only seen a doe and 2 fawns early this season. I'm heading out Thursday am for my club in GA. The rut ought to be close. We'll see. Pat
GregB:
Outstanding Ryan! I'm really glad you got one! Looks like a good buck to me, I'd definitely have flung an arrow at him if given the opportunity. How long of a shot, and were you on the ground or from a stand? ;)
Ryano:
Greg, I shot him at about 8 yards slightly quarting towards me. The arrow went clean threw him and stuck in the dirt on the other side. The arrow entered perfectly behind his right shoulder and came out just behing the last rib on the other side. I got both lungs the diaphram and liver, he only went about 30 yards. It always amazes me how deadly a good sharp broad head is when its put in the right spot.
Im not saying its not a nice buck (you cant eat the horns anyways) but Ive been seeing much bigger ones, I just didnt have the will power to pass him up with only 4 more days of archery left here and I can hardley bare the thought of dawning the high powered rifle anymore.... :-\
mamba:
Congrads Ryan - nice deer.I passed on a small doe at 13yds last weekend,still wondering why I didn't shoot.
I think the gods denied me for not carrying a selfbow -Ray.
