#5 deer for the year

(1/3) > >>

Will H:
Well here's my last one for the year :) It was a beautiful morning on the last day of season. I saw close to 20 deer in all and a few turkeys as well. Just as I thought I was going to have to settle with watching deer at a distance with binoculars, three does came filtering through the creek bottom to my left. They passed at 35yds and I noticed a spike was coming along behind them. Just as I started to focus my attention on him a flurry of commotion started up back in the hollar behind him. I'm not sure if it was dogs, coyotes, or another hunter that busted those deer out but they were headed our way and fast! 2 does split off the group of 8 or more and headed straight for my stand. When they came to a halt the larger of the two was right in front of me slightly quartering away at 12 steps. I hit anchor and let my arrow fly. My new 40# Osage bow I finished up last week did the job cause she didn't go out of sight before she was done :) I figure she weighed somewhere around 80# dressed. It's gonna be some more tasty dinners for me and mine this year! Here's a couple pics ;)


Oh I almost forgot! I found this 7pt while i was blood trailing her! I guess somebody shot and lost him. Should make for some nice tip overlays and knife handles ;)
