little buck down in Mi

(1/7) > >>

Lee Lobbestael:
Well its opening day of gun season here in Michigan and I had to miss heading north to deer camp with my dad and brothers because everyone in my house was sick. But I managed to get out in the woods this morning behind my house. It was crisp and cold and snowing with barely a breeze. Turkeys were everywhere coming down from the trees as soon as it got light. About a half hour after shooting light a doe came by trailing this buck. I stopped him at about fifteen yards in a small gap in the brush and let him have it! I hit him through the lungs and he charged off forty yards into the brush and I heard him go down. I shot him with a hickory self bow 43#@28" and a arrow I made from a bamboo garden stake, fletched with turkey feathers from a turkey I killed last fall, and tipped with a broadhead I made out of a pounded flat spoon. It was opening day of gun season here and hunting goes drastically down hill for the next two weeks so I was happy to fill my tag even tho its just a little guy.

Knoll:
Little/big doesn't matter compared to thrill of accepting the hunting challenge ... & succeeding!

Hope family members are well soon.

Be proud man! That a hell of an accomplishment! That might as well be a booner as far as I'm concerned! Way to get it done with all hand made equipment!
